OK, I can confirm that the Classic Sports Car Club (CSCC) has announced a revival race for the Modsports and Special Saloons type cars that were such a feature of the UK club racing scene in the 1970 & 80s. The race will take place at Mallory Park on August Bank Holiday Monday, 29 August 2011. The race is open to all Modsports and Saloons, Special & Super Saloons, Thunder Saloons and Donington GT type cars and will be free to acceptable cars that raced in period.

The CSCC can confirm that Joe Ward has entered Baby Bertha, Jon Lee has entered Tony Hazlewood’s Dafnee and Dave Taylor has entered the ex Mick Hill Beetle. Other special cars of the period are planning to join.

The CSCC hopes that there will be sufficient interest generated to run further races later in the year, leading to a regular series for similar modified cars in 2012.

Baby Bertha will be on display on the CSCC’s stand at the Race Retro show in February to publicise the event.

Owners of cars that they feel may be eligible are requested to get in touch with the club.

There are no Tech Regs formed as yet (outside oif what is applicable for the Blue Book, obviously), as this is aimed at existing cars that may have raced in period. If there is sufficient interest then regs for a new series can be considered, with the help of interested participants.

Lets get these fantastic cars back on track!

Looks good, lets hope the cars are still out there to make it a success. Shame I am miles away from getting the Penske IROC ready as that appeared a few times in the period mind you it would hold everyone up the weight of the thing especially with me behind the wheel. I did watch it race once in the original ASCARS at Mallory as it happens and piloted by Brian Rice and it seemed very quick at the time but things move on.

That's uncanny, Gregor; I was about to ask whether you knew about it or were involved (will e-mail a catch up, soon!).

Altered the Thread title to make it a bit bolder. Wish this initiative every success.

You mentioned the ex Mick Hill Beetle, is this the same car raced by Gary Charlwood down at Lydden many years ago. I think this was a single seater based 5 litre car.

Gregor, you are very welcome to get involved.

Sadly, noise limits are an issue & we will have to comply with the normal track noise limits. 105Db? from memory.

Doug Emms from North Yorkshire also ran a Beetle with 5 or 6 litre V8 though the car was not as develped as the Mick Hill car. I think the engine came from a Camaro that Doug raced previously.

I would love to have a race against these great cars at my local circuit in my Sunbeam Lotus Classic Thunder Saloon, but as it was not about in those days I presume it would not be eligible? Saying that I did race in a couple of special saloon races in 1986/87 in my other arched Sunbeam Lotus against the likes of Ginger Marshall, so although not the same car, its a similar one, with the original driver?

Joss, I really don't know the answer to that. My advice is to e-mail the club directly and ask if its possible to enter. I think we really want to encourage as many of the older cars out as possible for this revival race but going forward we'd like to investigate the viability of a series for modsports/saloons/thundersaloons/ Special GTs in general & so it may be possible on that basis. I'm not the oracle on these matters!

Hmm, very interesting. I'll be at the meeting anyway but I know the owner of the Ark Sprite which is currently in hillclimb spec but could easily be converted to race. Will have a word in his ear, shame he hasn't a race licence
