Hi Guys,
FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (2nd November) for our Group A classes - Historic Saloon (HS), American Pony Car (APC), Vintage Sports '60-'75 (VS6075). We'll run special races for newcomers using FRC's IROC cars if we have at least two new drivers present, so encourage others to come along.

- Post-race Technical Inspection (if required).
