Sunday 3 September is the Cootamundra Swap Meet which is always popular.

Just YOU, YOUR CAR and the CLOCK.

Cars will be pre-1985 and will participate in either full speed timed acceleration sprints or regularity sprints. Entry fee is $90.00. Why not join us?

Sprints for vintage and pre-1985 cars 

The 1.5km long, 18m wide, Cootamundra Airport runway allows two cars to safely run side by side over the timed 400m.

Cars will be pre-1985 and will participate in either full speed timed acceleration sprints or regularity sprints. The latter allows vintage cars to accelerate over the 400m at any comfortable speed they choose and once a time has been given then the object will be to come as close to that as possible in subsequent runs.

We will continue the informal arrangement of past years in which competitors choose their running mate as generally, this has resulted in good matches.

We create good old fashioned vintage fun without risking the cars. State of the art electronic timing is used.
