Wow, this event just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? The second running of the revamped Crash Cavalcade was an incredible affair which had the pits, banking and even the car park brimming with some awesome classic machinery. The gates opened bright and early on the Sunday morning to an absolute scorcher with classic cars rolling in throughout under the glorious sunshine. We saw everything from a World War 2 Military Jeep to a 1930’s Humber in the Classic Car Show and even more variety being raced to destruction in the three classes of Pre-79 National Bangers that were featured.

The day also saw cars such as Mk1 & Mk2 Escorts, Anglias, a Vauxhall Viva, Austin A40s and more racing in the Classic Hot Rods. The Classic Hot Rods put on a brilliant show as always, showing what Hot Rod racing was like in the 1960’s and 70’s. #198 Andy Steward performed some very long and smoky doughnuts, getting him one of our Showmanship Trophies.

It was fantastic to see many new faces at Hednesford Hills Raceway for this very special meeting, and we hope to see many of you back at next year’s Crash Cavalcade where talks have already begun as to how we can make it even better still.

There was action on track all day long from the classics and all of the invited classes who we can’t thank enough for getting behind the event and making the effort with classic cars, backup teams, on track entertainment and participation in the classic car show & parade. I’m sure everyone will agree that you guys put on one hell of a show.
