Northern Muscle Cars (originally called the Muscle Car Road Race Series) was established in 2001.  Until that time the founders of the series were participating in another racing class, but decided to split off and establish a new series in order to allow the desired level of modification and competition.

They wanted a class that would allow more consistent and complete race car preparation, including a wide variety of modifications to engine, braking and suspension packages.  The Northern Muscle Car Series also allows the use of DOT registered radial race tyres.

Our series is often invited to participate in a number of different car clubs events, mostly held at Pukekohe Park Raceway.  A typical season sees us with a schedule of approximately eight races each year. 

Northern Muscle Cars operates two classes of racing:

• Over 4.5 litres: engines with six or more cylinders and a cubic capacity of over 4.5 litres. 
• Under 4.5 litres: engines with six or more cylinders and with a cubic capacity of up to 4.5 litres.  .

Both classes run in the same field at race meetings, but points are awarded separately for each class.

New for the 2009/10 season is our Invitation Class. For cars slightly outside Northern Muscle Car rules we have created this class to enable those cars to compete under certain constraints for up to one season, if approved by the club. The intention is that those cars are encouraged to be modified to comply with our rules. Please email the committee with driver and car details to request an invitation.
