The Leukaemia Foundation is calling on muscle car enthusiasts across Australia to register now for its epic 2017 Aussie Muscle Car Run this October, covering 1901kms from Eastern Creek NSW to Adelaide SA, and spanning four states.

The run is open to cars from the golden era of Bathurst during the 60s and 70s, with replicas welcome. Cars of ‘special interest’ will also be considered.

The Aussie Muscle Car Run started in 2011 and has become one of Australia’s ultimate road trips. The seven-day leisure car cruise has now raised more than $2 million to help families facing a blood cancer diagnosis.

Aussie actor and renowned motor enthusiast, Shane Jacobson joined the run in 2016 and had so much fun he’s coming back.

“I’ll be joining the run for three days from Day 3, heading through the Snowy Mountains and ending up at the Winton Raceway, which is a great track, trust me,” Shane said.

“Most importantly, Aussie Muscle Car Run raises vital funds for the Leukaemia Foundation, which makes it that little bit more special.”

Aussie Muscle Car Run National Chairman Kevin May said the iconic event gave participants a chance to showcase their cars, which this year includes a wide range of Toranas, GT Falcons, Ford Mustangs, Valiants, Statesman, Capris, Fairmonts and Monaros.

“We’re inviting car lovers to join us on a journey in their beloved beasts which includes exclusive access to motoring events and track time at Sydney 2017 Australian Muscle Car Masters at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek, plus Winton Motor Raceway and Portland Drags,” Kevin said.

“Participants get to experience driving their cars on tracks that these iconic beasts were designed and built for.

“It’s a coming together of like-minded, passionate and proud car enthusiasts,” he said.

Aussie Muscle Car Run registration is open now at www.aussiemusclecarrun.com where you’ll find a detailed itinerary. Be quick as places are limited.  

Entry is $1200 per person covering accommodation, breakfasts, dinners, motorsport, car livery, overnight security and much more. Teams are then asked to raise a further $4000 towards blood cancer research and patient support. The event is open to two member teams of drivers and co-drivers.
