Each August for years VSCDA has held a race weekend at Grattan Raceway Park. The 37th edition of the Vintage Grand Prix au Grattan is next weekend.
This family friendly location and event is a favorite, particularly for small bore cars with the handling capable of being quick on a circuit with plenty of blind, off camber or both corners. This track really rewards drivers who can remember the sequence of corners to best their competition.
Each year as I think of this track several features come to mind: the turn 3 to turn 4 sequence - delightfully blind and off camber, the jump between turns 4 and 5, the carousel and finally turn 9 as you crest the hill to the start/finish straight.
In addition to the usual sequence of races for each group there are feature races for Formula Vees and Formula Fords and a 60-minute open wheel enduro on Saturday Night. There will be plenty of track time on a weekend that looks to be dry but hot.
As there are dinners on the schedule for Friday and Saturday night, there will not be a Monoposto party. Enjoy the weekend and the racing.
