Is Motorsport going the wrong way?

[Spgeti]

Much as I support the ethos of Historic Saloons, just one non-Ford at the Icebreaker suggests that it is easier to run with a Ford than any other make on the grounds of availability of parts, spares and performance equipment and even knowledge. I take my hat off to all competitors running something a little bit different. They don't have to be winners and classic racing is supposed to be about participation.

Ray is correct and while Ice Breaker was our first hit out for the season wet weather was threatening and we had two non Fords withdraw which was a shame as the wet weather truly did not eventuate to much and our races were dry.

We are working hard on Viva’s, Minis, Imps, Sports and GT’s etc but these days costs are increasing and the aftermath of Covid and increasing interest rates along with the cost of living is certainly having an impact on grids and those wanting to race older cars.

We also have an aging population that race old cars and they are retiring….
