Classic Hot Rods

Awakening memories of a bygone era of Hot Rod racing, these carefully built and lovingly maintained replicas provide an awesome sight and great side by side racing.

Originally conceived as a mere demonstration by a group of oval racing stars of the past, Classic Hot Rod racing is now a star formula in its own right. Ford Escort Mk1s and Mk2s, Ford Anglias, Minis and Vauxhall Chevettes are the cars of choice, and every one looks nothing short of stunning and goes as well as it looks. Some stars of Hot Rod racing past have even been tempted out of retirement to compete in lookalikes of the cars in which they made their names during their career.

The biggest event for these retro racers is the annual Bill Morris Memorial contested at Hednesford Hills Raceway in memory of the raceway\'s founder, but there are plenty of other fixtures across the UK including all the Spedeworth/Incarace tracks.
