This is the last major Historic Meeting for the year and is sure to feature a large Group S contingent.
See you there.
Up to 200 Mustangs will be on display, some of which will hit the track in a classic display of American muscle that will delight race fans' visual and aural senses. The highlight for many will be the chance to stand next to a vehicle many rate as the greatest touring car in Australian history, Allan Moffat's 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am Mustang.
Alongside the "Moffstang" will be the Mustang driven by Ian "Pete" Geoghegan to four consecutive Australian touring car championships from 1966-69. Mustangs driven by other Aussie racing heroes such as Norm Beechey and Bob Jane will be among at least 200 on display.
The mighty Mustangs will be backed up by a wide array of classes encompassing all eras from stately pre-1931 vintage cars, through ferocious open wheelers such as Formula 5000 and Formula Ford, to the brawny Group A and C touring cars spanning the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
Mr Robson, the race director, said the Historic Sandown meeting held something for race fans of all ages. "Whatever your taste, there's a racing category to suit," he said.
"As well as offering non-stop on-track action, we encourage spectators to wander down to the pits for a close-up look at these incredible cars. In most cases we don't put barriers around them, and the drivers themselves are often around for a chat.
