Aussie Muscle Car Run is on again!

This unique fundraising event provides owners of cars manufactured during the period 1963-1977 with an opportunity to showcase their vehicles on a seven day cruise in Western Australia in October, throughout South Australia in November and in Victoria in May, 2016.

 

Held in South Australia since 2012, The Leukaemia Foundation's Aussie Muscle Car Run has been a huge success, raising over $1.1 million to support people with blood cancer. This year is the first time the event will be held in WA and the Foundation invites Australians to get involved in both events and help raise funds to support its important work helping people with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders.

 

Registrations are now open for the WA and SA events, with registrations to be open soon for the 2016 Victorian event.

 

The events are leisure-paced motoring runs, not races or timed rallies, providing Aussie muscle car owners with the opportunity to showcase their cars to the wider community while having an adventure of a lifetime.

 

"We invite car clubs and car owners to sign up and register for our events in WA and SA. It is an iconic event for car owners from this era and with places limited, it is an event not to be missed," said Adrian Collins, CEO of the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia.

 

The registration fee covers accommodation, breakfasts, dinners, motor sport, car livery, overnight security for the vehicles and more. Once registered, participants are then required to fundraise a minimum of $4000 per car to be eligible to participate.

 

While the event is restricted to muscle cars of the 1963-1977 period (Aussie and US cars welcome, as well as British and Euro 'muscle'), there are potential places open for 'special interest' cars to participate (as determined by the event organisers). Modern muscle cars and other racing vehicles will also be considered for entry.

 

"Across both states, we are aiming to raise $500,000 from the event, to invest in the provision of accommodation at no charge for families from regional Australia who need to relocate to capital cities for blood cancer treatment," said Adrian Collins.

 

 

Departing and returning to Fremantle, travelling through the South West, Great Southern and Wheatbelt. Highlights include a track day at Barbagallo Raceway, hill climb at Mt Clarence (Albany), and Drags at Kwinana Motorplex and Collie.

 

Take in some of South Australia's most iconic roads while participating in motorsport events at Mallala Motorsport Park, Port Augusta and the night drags in Whyalla. Enjoy a two-day stopover in Port Lincoln and join us as we dip into NSW for the not to be missed closed-road motorsport event at Silverton (Mundi Mundi Plains) where the Mad Max movies were filmed.

 

Taking in some of Victoria's most scenic roads with iconic motor sports planned for when we 'bring the beasts back home' to Victoria next May!
