NEW CLASS / SERIES; Historic Sports Sedans. formation meeting.20/04/13 ACC

[John McKechnie]

This Historic Sports Sedan class has had a lot of interest when you look at the number of hits the thread has had and I enjoyed watching the cars actually running on the track. Steve Holmes even ran a thread on a similar vein.
There are group leaders out there who take a long term view of the success of a field- Old Fart for example stepping in with the pre 61 Class. Here he is not worried about racing, it is about facilitating people with these cars to have some fun.
Since the cars are there , is there similarly out there someone with a long term patient view who wants to work within the Historic movement to pick up the reins and continue where this has stopped.
The biggest stumbling block here was ACC requirement that there must be a certain number of cars on the grid, and the emphasis on the racing for points as a competitive series instead of simply getting them there first, so they can then decide their own competitive level.
This needs the painstaking process of this person being involved with the drivers to help get the cars to the track first to build up the numbers- a long term operation-rather than giving dates to comply with.
This is simply my view as I love what each of these cars has done for our spectator pleasure over the years .
Any one else want to add to this to keep the momentum going, as I know there are some gutted drivers out there who did not want this current result?
