Announcing a general meeting for interested parties for the formation of the rules and confirmation of race dates for a new class for historic Sports Sedans at the Auckland car club rooms 20th april at 10am.
The go ahead has been given by the Auckland Car Club for a new series for historic Sports Sedans to run at the 6 ACC race meetings this coming season, starting in September 2013 and ending around April 2014 being 1 day meetings and comprising 1 practice and 3x6 lap races with 3 rounds at Pukekohe and 3 at Hampton downs.
A Basic outline for the class is for the cars to run as they did per the rules and parts of their period, also to allow replicas that also would have to conform to the original specs. Because this would encompass such a varying amount of different rules and of course engine capacities it is suggested that all 3 races be handicap.
If this is something that would interest you then please put your thinking cap on and come along to this meeting as this will determine the rules that the cars and series will run to.
This is intended to be a fun type class where you can run your historic Sports Sedan with the same cars that would have run back in the day, thus placing some more value back into your car and letting the public see some of the old jiggers that were once the top line saloons of NZ motoracing. If enough cars join there is more than a probability that we as a class could run at the next HD festival of speed. Would also love to have input from the immense talent of the great pool of racers current and past on this great motoracing enthusiasts site. Cheers, George.
