  • STATEMENT of PURPOSE the Purpose of the Historic Motor Sports
    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The purpose of the Historic Motor Sports Association is to encourage the restoration, preservation and use of historic, sports and racing cars. Our events and races are for fun with nothing to be won. Satisfaction and camaraderie among friends is the reward. Our serious interest is in the cars. We want to see old cars with racing history RESTORED. Today many believe the term restore means, "...to make new". Webster says, "restore... to bring back to a former condition. We accept the latter. The enjoyment for us is in driving and experiencing the cars as they were. To support that we arrange our race groups by age and their engine size. Modern technology can make vast improvements in performance possible but that is not our desire and our rules are written with the intent to prevent such modification. We want the cars to be as they were not what they could have been. Restoration, Preservation and Use. Our events are not intended to offer individuals a "career option". There are other professional organizations which would be a better choice. HMSA is for the less driven (excuse the pun). Driving well is important, winning is not. Safety is very important and driving is a major contribution. Racing at any level can be dangerous. We, therefore, have rules and regulations which we hope will be helpful in making your participation both enjoyable and safe. As an overview, we divide safety into two categories: Car and Driver. An old car cannot be made as safe as a modern car. A McLaren with a monocoque tub is definitely safer in a crash than an M.G., Ferrari or Bugatti.

Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.
