Phillip Island Classic, 9-11 March Race meeting report - Page 1 of

The 2007 Shannons-VACC
Phillip Island Classic proved to be the biggest ever motor sport event
ever held in Australia for enthusiasts of historic motor racing.
Some 525 racing car, sports racing,
and production sports cars entered the meeting with most categories
of racing oversubscribed. A record number of overseas entrants were
bolstered by 17 Formula 5000’s from New Zealand, who was competing
for the first time at the Island in their final round of the VACC
Trans-Tasman Championship.
Feature Marque for 2007 was Porsche,
and Porsche Australia and Porsche AG air-freighted out the most amazing
and rare collection of Porsche cars ever seen in this country.
Patron of the meeting “Stormin”
Norm Beechey, winner of two Australian Touring car titles in 1965
and 1970 proved very popular. Norm brought his Chevrolet Impala, the
car which he took the touring car world by storm. Sunday’s parade
of significant cars was lead by Norm who too many looked as though
he and his five passengers (including VHRR club Patron Sir Jack Brabham)
were on a cruise down Lygon St!
