Cootamundra Sprints- CANCELLED
Saturday, 27 March 2021
Cootamundra Council has decided that the airstrip is too waterlogged to be used for the Cootamundra Sprints on 27 March 2021. Therefore we have had to cancel the March 2021 Sprints.
In the next few weeks, the VSCCA will look for possible alternate arrangements for later in the year.

Covid Update
The running of the event will have to comply with a COVID Safety Plan and Cootamundra Council is helping us with those guidelines. Depending on the COVID situation at the time, the guidelines may change.
Currently:
All competitors and other attendees will have to register as they arrive. There will be the usual use of hand sanitiser and the wearing of masks inside toilets etc.
Social distancing guidelines will have be observed (1 person per 2 sq metres) and this means we can have a maximum of 60 car competitors and no more than a total of 360 people at the event in the aerodrome.
The length of the event is limited to 5 hours.
The Saturday dinner will be run under the Club’s Covid Safety Plan.
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.
Entry fee is $90
Roll bars are not required. No other licensing is required. The event will be open to VSCCA, VSCC Vic, HSRCA, GEAR and other car clubs with suitable cars as set out in the supplementary regulations.
Limited space available
The event will be limited to 60 cars to ensure everyone gets adequate runs so first in first served. Please come and participate in one of the Club's best and most relaxed sporting events.
First run at 10.00am
Cootamundra is about four and a half hours drive from Sydney.
Happy hour and dinner
A free Happy Hour is included. Saturday night dinner at the Cootamundra Services Club will be $30 per person PLUS drinks.
