Gents, it is quite strange we have a business name as Muscle Car Events, but as i'm sure you'll understand the focus each year when we do the Heritage stuff at Bathurst is on the Colours and Stripes stuff from the late 60''s early 70's. We also manage Classic Adelaide, The Muscle Car Masters plus our own events nationally and are acutely aware of the history involving not only Muscle Cars from the big 3, but the first generation of Series Production - hence the fact there was no point in paying more money to the Government for another business name........
to come is the event overview as asked - WE ASK POTENTIAL ENTRANTS TO CONTACT US INDIVIDUALLY -
Cheers
