Vintage Collingrove - 2011 Hillclimb Angaston, Barossa Valley Vintage Collingrove Speed HillclimbWeekend is on again this coming spring. Located in superb scenic countryside with majestic red gums and rolling hills just a 90 minute drive from Adelaide and 7 km south of Angaston at the top of the Barossa Valley. Collingrove is most often considered Australia’s premier hillclimb track. Vintage Collingrove is run by the Sporting Car Club of South Australia specifically for vintage style machinery as well as CAMS Group J & K pre-WWII cars. There are classes for racing, sports and touring cars. Certain early post war cars may be accepted on an invitation basis providing they are of ‘vintage’ style and character. If you have been to the famous Vintage Sports Car Club event at Prescott in England, then chances are you will feel at home at Vintage Collingrove, and if you haven’t, well this is probably the next best thing in Australia.   For entrants and friends there is a full weekend of activities. This includes a run on public roads in which unregistered cars provided with permits can participate. There’s also the fun Saturday night ‘Climb Dinner’, the Sunday ‘Partners’ Program’ and in the evening the Roaring Forties café farewell gettogether meal.   Come-and-Run permits are available for entrants who do not have a CAMS competition licence, so this is a very economical way to enjoy your favourite pre-war sporting or touring car.   As they say, “just feel the atmosphere.” The competitive hillclimb is held on Sunday and while the ‘paddock’ obviously has a vintage feel, there is also the spectator car park for ‘collector’ style vehicles. Clubs are welcome to arrange their own display.   So, if you like the idea of vintage Amilcars, Austin 7s, Bentleys, Bugattis, Buicks, Chryslers, Essex, Fords, Rileys and MGs competing in superb countryside, then Vintage Collingrove is a must for you and your family. Spectators are most welcome on the Sunday from 9.00 am for a most reasonable charge. Friday 30th September Meet entrants and others at the ‘Vine Inn Hotel - Welcome Dinner’ Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley.
