Sydney Off Road Racing Association

Phone:

NSWORC, including the Colo Classic event.

The NSW Off Road Championship Round to be held at Colo Motorsport Park on the 1st & 2nd June 2024 will have as a component of the event the Classic Class. It will also be the Ray Vesty Memorial round that was to be run at the Park last year, but due to unforeseen circumstances did not take place.

There is some interesting machines out there that have not been out for a while in competition and a few years ago, just before the dreaded Covid, floods and bushfires, two off road racing stalwarts Steve Maher & Steve Jones formulated a class for these older type vehicles to still be able to participate in our sport. They are Off Road vehicles log booked before 1996 and they are the Classic Class. Check out the info for these cars. MA, 2024-off road-appendix off road Classic – regularity standing regs. If you know of someone hiding a car in their shed that would be interested, let them know so they can get it out and be ready for this event.

Current in date safety gear, Helmets, seat belts and extinguishers, plus seat belt cutters.Along with the original logbook. The cars only have to comply with the rules in place for cars log booked before the 1996 date.

The classic off road reliability race will be run Colo Park on the 1st and 2nd of June 2024. At the race meeting itself, there will be approximately 6 heats of racing over the two days. In each heat there will be 3 or 4 groups, plus an extra group, which will be the Classic Class

The whole idea is to get the old cars, back on the track. Get those old cars back and have fun, The NSW Off Road Racing Championship Round Sup Regs for the Colo round will be out shortly and will include the Off Road Classic regs. Getting excited to think this will be the first opportunity to see some of these Classic cars out in their racing livery to play again.
