Blue Ribbon season opens

Horsham Motorsports Club will open its 2018-19 season with the roar of V8 engines old and new on December 29.

It willl host the running of the AMCA Country Cup and the return of the Vintage Heavy Hot Rods and Saloon Cars.

Also on the program will be Blue Ribbon’s own V8 trucks, Open Sedans, Limited Sportsman, Street Stocks and SSA ladies.

The opening meeting of this season between Christmas and new year celebrations will be tempered with the knowledge that this will be the first in many years without long-time club stalwart, life-member and president, the late Michael ‘Mick’ Fitzgerald, standing on the edge of the track. Gates open at 5.30pm with racing from 6.30pm.

Full catering will be available with limited car parking on the hill in the north turn and a lot of room on the grass.

Event organisers are urging fans to bring chairs and blankets.
