NOCNSW Sponsor Formula 750 at 2010 Barry Sheene Festival of Speed
|

The Norton Owners Club of NSW in conjunction with the Post Classic Racing Association of NSW are combining to revive the Period 4 Formula 750 class. The 750 class was the premier non-GP racing class of the early to mid 1970’s and is recognised as an official historic racing class by Motorcycling Australia.
The club is looking to restore interest in this class by encouraging enthusiasts to get their 750’s back onto the track to reflect the racing grids and machines of the 1970’s. By sponsoring this class through the Period 4 ‘Unapproachable F750 Challenge’ at the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed race meeting, the club hopes that other period motorcycle clubs will be encouraged to come forward and support this class of racing.(more)
