105angria, previous Festivals catered for these cars when the 'decade' system was being used, but now we have pre '78 over 3 litres, and pre '78 under 3 litres. So the Sprague car should be ok, but where the Coppins Replica goes I'm not sure...I presume it's over 3 litres, but dont see it fitting in with Dales group. There will be something, but not sure what.

Ok, I should have looked first. Cars like the Coppins Zephyr will race in class 6....Pre 85 Invited open saloons and GT's.....which can include some of the old 'allcomers'

Gerald(an others) the replica cars like the Coppins Zephyr do pose a problem, so this car and others(over 3L) will be in the pre 85 open saloon group, at the start i wanted all "Replica" and others modified outside T&C to race in a strickly controlled pre 78 open saloon group but i didn't get my way(sorry) and as i have enough on my plate handling the current HMC over 3L group i didn't need any further work, so pre 85 it is and it looks like some older sports sedany type cars will run in the pre 85 open group which i don't think is rite(not my choice) anyway, after Jan we will have a better idea on how it all works out, but sofar we have 24 under and over 3L cars registered for our pre 78 class and more to come so i'd say we'll get a 30 car grid and if you race a MK2 escort atleast you wont have Manon in there as he's way to modified, he'll be in the open group!! As for the Replica debate, wouldn't it be great is enough of them got together for there own "Kiwi Replica" class, now that would be worth the watch!!
