Nostalgia Drag Racing in Australia
About Us
Why a dedicated Australian Nostalgia Racers Club
Australian Nostalgia Racers Vic inc. exists as a club for those that want to be actively involved in the Nostalgia Drag Racing scene. To get the first hand knowledge of events and what is happening in the scene, it is good to belong.
We provide a point of contact for the tracks that want to run a Nostalgia Drags event and a wide set of Bracket rules that cater for a wide range of nostalgia cars, from street cars to full race only.
The rules have been developed from talking to like minded racers, and are there as a guide for racers preparing a car, and for tracks to know what cars are likely to turn up if they put those Nostalgia Brackets on. The Nostalgia Brackets are more about the look and feel of the event to keep it Nostalgic and different to a modern drag racing event. A modern drag racing event is high tech, with a lot of high boosted turbo cars, the sound of these types of modern drag cars is far removed from years gone by, hence why we exclude them from all Nostalgia Brackets, they already have plenty of events to run at.
Nostalgia Racing is, essentially to promote events for the old school racer to have a blast in their old car in a relaxed and fun atmosphere with their mates.
We are a not for profit club, we all volunteer our time and we are all racers, or passionate Nostalgia drag racing fans.
With this in mind you will find below our Purpose Statements that sum up our club and what we stand for.
