VSCCA Cootamundra Sprints Supplementary Regulations and Entry Form [PDF]

There is also a dinner on Saturday evening at the Cootamundra Services Club. $35 per person plus drinks. RSVP ahead of time via the VSCCA.

The 1.5km long, 18m wide, Cootamundra Airport runway allows two cars to run side by side over the timed 400m.

Cars will be pre-1985 and will participate in either full speed timed acceleration sprints or regularity sprints. The latter allows vintage cars to accelerate over the 400m at any comfortable speed they choose and once a time has been given then the object will be to come as close to that as possible in subsequent runs.

We create good old fashioned vintage fun without risking the cars. State of the art electronic timing is used.

Entry fee is $90

Roll bars are not required but helmets are. No other licensing is required.

The event is open to:

The VSCCA, VSCC Vic, Alvis Car Club, Austin 7 Club, Cootamundra Car Club, GEAR, HSRCA, Lotus Club, Morgan Owners Club Aust, MG Car Club, Triumph Club, and others at the discretion of the organisers with suitable Vintage, Historic pre-war and post-war sport, racing and sedan cars manufactured prior to 1985 and other car clubs with suitable cars as set out in the supplementary regulations.

The event will be limited to 80 cars to ensure everyone gets adequate runs so it is first in first served. The event will be subject to, and comply with, any special Covid restrictions at the time.

First run at 10.00 am

Cootamundra is about four and a half hours drive from Sydney.
