FERNLEY, Nev. The Reno Historic Races
will honor the H-Modified racing class, the longest-lived
internationally sanctioned racing class in existence, at
this year's event. The fourth annual Reno Historic Races
will take place May 4 through 6 at the Reno-Fernley
Raceway, located at 1855 Hwy 95A, 30 minutes east of Reno.
The Reno Historic Races delivers an
exciting blend of historic production and special purpose-built
racecars. The world-class historic cars are divided into
groups according to make, age and horsepower. A typical
representation includes racecars from prestigious
manufacturers such as Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche and
Corvette that were raced in great series such as Formula
One, Can-Am, and Winston Cup stock cars. One of the more
notable features of the event is its "open paddock,"
which allows spectators the opportunity to walk right up
to the valued vehicles and interact with the driver and
crew.

Great American Race 2007 organizers are
pleased to announce that the 25th Anniversary Great Race
will finish in Anaheim, California. The City of Anaheim,
home to Disneyland and the 2002 World Champion Anaheim
Angels, will host the Great Race finish for the third
time. On both previous occasions, in 1999 and 2002,
“Chamber of Commerce” weather and enthusiastic crowds
marked our visits. Anaheim will celebrate its
sesquicentennial in 2007 and Great Race
will be a highlight of the festivities.
So, if you’ve been sitting on the fence, trying to
decide whether or not to participate, Bill Ewing hope you
“get off the fence” and join them for the 25th
Anniversary Great Race. This year’s race features world-class
rally racing over some of the most beautiful roads in
America, accompanied by festivities all along the race
route that we know you will enjoy.
For the past few weeks, the organizers have been
describing some of what you will experience. From a
rousing start in NASCAR country, Concord, North Carolina,
to some good old fashion Tennessee hospitality, courtesy
of Corky Coker and Coker Tire, the first few days of Great
American Race 2007 will be memorable. Day 4 will be no
different.

The 2007 Annie
& Steve Norman Classic Motorcar Rally is now being
planned. Sign-up is underway for the 14th Annual Rally,
scheduled for June 7-10th, 2007. The rally will be
centered in Anacortes, Washington. Home base will be The
Majestic Inn and Spa in Anacortes, Washington.
If you take part to this event you will rally throughout
the Skagit, Island, and Whatcom counties, covering about
150 miles per day.
Since the 2001 rally, the organizers have allowed newer
cars to be used. They offer an additional participant
class for sporting motorcars built since 1974. Cars
produced up to 1973 will compete in the 'classic division'
while cars built since 1973 will compete in the 'contemporary
division'. Both divisions will run the same rally routes
but scoring will be separate for each division and awards
will be presented for each division. This allows owners of
newer cars to participate in the rallies but will not
allow the newer cars to compete directly with older cars.

Earlier today we received an email from the HSRCA.
Disappointingly, it is necessary for the HSRCA to advise
the cancellation of its one-day event planned for Sunday
11th February 2007.
As of 9:00am today (Friday 9th February 2007) the new
owners of Wakefield Park and CAMS have
not been able to come to an understanding regarding the
track license agreement for 2007. This situation prevents
CAMS from issuing the HSRCA a permit for
the meeting and we therefore have no choice but to cancel
this event.
This situation does not affect the HSRCA
Family Day planned for Saturday 10th February which does
not require a CAMS permit. This event will take place as
planned.
The Classic Rally Team of John Kershaw
and Jane Buckman, who will drive their 1976 Vauxhall
Chevette, was the first of over a dozen entries already
received by organisers for the Dunlop Rallyfeste,
which will celebrate four decades of New Zealand Rallying.
Organising committee chairman Laurie Brenssell commented
“It was not surprising to see that John and Jane were
first on the list of entrants for the Rally section of the
Rallyfeste celebration, they are
passionate rally fans, and great supporters of the
sport”.
Their philosophy in rallying is “Enjoy it, be a good
sport, look after your sponsors, respect your competitors
and officials, be an ambassador for motorsport, be
competitive and get to the end!”

Gravel and asphalt awards for the BHRC
Two new awards in the Dunlop/Gambia MSA British
Historic Rally Championship will reward crews
with particular expertise on the gravel or asphalt events.
Water End Properties will sponsor trophies for the best
performance on gravel and the best performance on asphalt,
which will be in addition to the regular overall
championship awards.
The BHRC remains a mixed-surface
championship, but organisers from the HRCR
recognise that some crews have a preference for either one
of the two surfaces, and the new awards will allow them to
compete for end of season awards, even if they do not
contest all nine rounds of the championship. Winners of
the major BHRC awards will not be
eligible for these trophies.
