“If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious stuff.”

1985 is just around the corner and that’s our next stop. Hednesford Hills Raceway goes back to the way we were on Sunday 25th September with the Pre-85 Crash Cavalcade. A day dedicated to classic cars and heritage of British Hot Rod and Banger Racing.

We will have the most stunning formula that Incarace has to offer – the Classic Hot Rods; a formula full of racing history. In the class you can see Mk 1 & Mk 2 Ford Escorts, Ford Anglias, a Hillman Avenger, Vauxhall Viva, Austin A30 and A40.

We also have Pre-85 National Bangers which have been split into three classes.

The Unders includes engine sizes up to a maximum of 1725cc including all of the ‘Rootes Group Car with an exception of the Maxi 1750. Ford Cortina Mk 1 & Mk 2 models can compete, but later marks and Capris must compete in the Middle Class.

The Middle Class includes cars up to 2500cc allowing the Triumph 2000/2500, Rover P5 & P6, Rover SDi, Vauxhall Cavalier & Victor to trade paint with one another.

The Overs allows anything over the 2500cc limit including Jaguar Mk 2, Mk 10, XJ6, Rover P5 & SDi, Toyota Crown, Volvo 240 and Granada Mk 1’s.

Yes it’s an opportunity to see some of the best against maybe some of not the best models from a long gone era when we all wore flared trousers, had long hair and watched Top of The Pops on a Thursday Night! Of course,specators can enter into the spirit of the occasion and dress in accordance if they so wish to add that extra little atmosphere!

If you own a pre-1985 vehicle, bring it along with you for our Classic Car Show & Shine. Classic Car drivers get free entry, so long as you bring a full paying passenger. You could also end the day by taking one of our Showmanship Trophies back home with you.

Crash Cavalcade is all about putting on a show and all of the drivers that come along understand that. To pick up one of our trophies you don't need to win but just be entertaining instead! We're talking period correct team wear, smart looking cars, unusual cars and moments of the day. We will also be awarding the classic car show on period correct drivers, unusual cars and car presentation. Every vehicle is eligible and the awards will be judged by our commentary team and Race Directors!
