Does the 600cc racing car class still really exist?

[RobertT]

Do folks still run cars in this class?

Thinking of options for a future steed and one of them is a 2-stroke racing car (but a bit novel at the same time) - but no point if there is no-one to run against

Cheers

yes - competitive class, ask Rob Capper....no 2-strokes that I can think of....Bill Chaplin and Toby Moody share a Force.....and Mark Goodyear has run in Dave Oldridges' OMS Hornet

Whats happened to the 2 strokes? Was there a noise issue?

And thats before you've taken into account the noise coming from the drivers seat

Generally speaking the 600cc Racing Cars are a bit thin on the ground. Invariably they are amalgamated upwards into the 1100cc class. Certainly in the North of England the only time there are reasonable numbers present are for the British Hillclimb rounds at Harewood &/or Barbon Manor (and not always then!)

As Steve said, it depends on where you are in the country. I have competed all over the north and Scotland and never seen more than 2 at an event and most events none.

5 at Prescott for MHC round this year, 5 @ Loton t'other w/e, 3 for the British round @ SW in June
