Saloons

Saloons were introduced at Stratford in the season of 1968/69 and the cars, initially referred to as productions, were a far cry from today's purpose built V8 monsters. The early vehicles included Mk 1 Zephyr, Holdens, Vauxhall's with standard car chassis, body and engines. By 1982, the cars were running on methanol with fiberglass bodies and lap times were down to around 17 seconds.

Today there are two classes of Saloon that race in New Zealand - Saloons and Super Saloons.

Super Saloons, with V8 engines exceeding 400 cubic inches and running on methanol were a regular fixture at Stratford up to the early 2000's when numerous driver retirements caused the class to become almost non existent.

Saloons
The younger cousins of Super Saloons, the Saloons compete with several restrictions such as capping the engine capacity to limit the speeds and costs of these cars. The class has benefited from a revival over the past few seasons and this is the class that is raced at Stratford today.  Lap times are around the 16 second mark.
