Eastern Creek Raceway is again hosting Australia's largest gathering of muscle cars.
GIVE dad a Father’s Day present with a difference. Eastern Creek Raceway is again hosting Australia’s largest gathering of muscle cars, the Muscle Car Masters early next month.
The masters is a celebration of Australia’s motoring heritage and a tribute to the drivers.
It will be held on Sunday, September 5, and celebrates 50 years of the Australian Touring Car Championship.
The event will feature a one-off 50th anniversary handicap race that will see the best muscle cars from the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s pitted against each other in a race to settle the old argument - just what era of racing was the best?
Australian Racing Drivers Club and Eastern Creek Raceway chief executive Glenn Matthews said this year’s masters would be the biggest yet.
“Each year the event attracts more competitors, exhibitors and most importantly fans,” he said.
“‘Muscle Car Masters is a motor racing event for all ages - giving dads an opportunity to relive the racing of old and introduce it to their sons.”
Ford Falcon GT-HOs will compete against the likes of Holden’s Monaro, XU1 Torana and the Valiant R/T Charger.
Other races will include the Touring Car Masters, Group C and Group A Bathurst Touring Cars and Historic Touring Cars from the 1960s and ‘70s.
Racing legends appearing on the day will include Bob Jane, Colin Bond, Allan Moffat, John French, Harry Firth, Leo Geoghegan, Barry and Glenn Seton, Wayne Gardner, Neil Crompton and Jim and Steven Richards.
Off-track activities include a show-and-shine display featuring Australia’s best road-registered muscle cars along with trade sites offering race fan merchandise.
Tickets at the gate. Cost: adults $40, Concession $25, Children 12 years and under: free.
