Vintage & Veteran Run
The club will be running its annual Vintage, Veteran and Classic Car Run on Sunday 8th July 2012.
More details to follow on event to include start and finish details.
The V&V Run is open to all cars older than 25 years old, so this year, any car older than 1986 is eligible to enter the Run, once it has the appropriate road tax and insurance.
A V&V Run entails going from Point A to Point B, on open roads at a regulation speed of 50 km per hour. The car that ultimately wins the event will be car that managed to stay on route and arrive at Point B at the designated time in accordance with driving on the route at the 50 km per hour speed limit.
Observation tests are also included along the route, which almost inevitably distracts the driver and causes him to take a wrong turn on the route.
The beauty of such an event is that even the oldest of cars are in with a chance of winning as it’s all down to the driver’s regularity of speed.
The club is affiliated to the Irish Vintage and Veteran Car Club, which is the governing body of vintage and veteran competition cars in Ireland. If you are interested in becoming involved in V&V Runs or any other type of vintage and veteran matters further information can obtained directly from the IVVCC website www.ivvcc.ie/index.htm.
