SALOONS

Saloons are a 2 or 4 door passenger vehicles, again with 200 required to be road user manufactured and are restricted in tyre size. Engines must be OEM (Original Engine Manufacturer) equipment. Saloons are a low cost form of the Super Saloons making it affordable racing. They are around 400hp running upto 360cu in engines. Gearboxes must be of OEM street vehicle type with a minimum of 1 forward and one reverse gear. They are mostly V8 engines but again this depends on the type of vehicle chosen to race as to whether that vehicle had V8s as OEM. They mostly run a space frame chassis and are now a nationally recognised class. This is one of the larger classes at Waikaraka Speedway and there will normally be a good field with close racing. This is a non contact class.
