Just like the very exciting Six Hours meeting held at the end of September, the Summer Classic is organised by the Roadbook Organisation. This meeting was the Summer Classics premiere.Various categories of historic and classic cars took part. Grand Prix cars of the 50's and 60's, historic Formula 2 and Formula Junior, Sport Racing cars, Touring Cars  and GTs, the Masters Top Hat All Series and the R&M Spirit of 9 Hours.

  The Rob Roy Hillclimb was established in 1937 at Christmas Hills, just 30 kilometres north-east from the centre of Melbourne. Cut out of the bush, the Rob Roy course included an uphill, half-mile, graded dirt road. The first meeting was run on 1st February 1937. In 1939, the track was sealed and became one of only three bitumen-surfaced purpose-built hillclimbs in the world, the other two being the Shelsley Walsh and Prescott courses in the UK.   All photos copyright - Martin Stubbs   © Martin Stubbs, Dacre Stubbs Collection
