Northam Flying Fifty and Hillclimb

Formally known as the Vintage-on-Avon, the Northam Flying Fifty is a two-day event and is traditionally held in March or April each year. The event encompasses a hill climb at Mt Ommanney on Saturday with the 'round the houses' re-enactment on Sunday.  The Town of Northam hosted the first of five 'round the houses' races in 1952 with the first races being run over a 2.2 mile (3.5 km) circuit south of the town. In later years a second circuit was laid out north of the town centre.  In 1999, the VSCC and Town of Northam joined forces to re-create 'round the houses' racing.  Extensive support from the Town of Northam and the local business community allows for the centre of Northam to be closed to regular traffic during the event.  

Hundreds of volunteers transform the streets into a fast, but safe street circuit that offers some fo the countries best spectator viewing.

Proudly hosted by The Shire of Northam the 2010 Flying 50 is action packed with historic and modern motor competition and car displays all weekend plus a Free Family Fun Day in the main street on Sunday. With so much to see and do, Northam is the place to be on the weekend of the 27th and 28th March 2010!

Conducted by the Vintage Sports Car Club of WA the weekend kicks off at 10.00 am on Saturday at the fast and exciting Mt Ommanney Hill Climb a Smoke Free event with single cars racing up the hill. In the afternoon in Minson Ave you can watch an autokhana with cars flying around witches hats, then a concert in Bernard Park. 
Sunday sees the streets transformed for the “around the houses” regularity competitions, the Northam Flying 50 a Smoke Free event, 24 events featuring over 100 historic and classic racing and sports cars, starting at 10.00 am and winding up at 4.30 pm.
 

Northam offers a range of affordable accommodation from Bed and Breakfasts, charming old Pubs and Hotels, a caravan park and a motel, all of which make the perfect base to explore Northam and the wider Avon Valley.  

This year’s theme is the 50th Aniversary of the first Australian “Touring Car” race. These ‘tin tops’ became the country’s premier racing formula morphing progressively to the V8 Supercars of today. Many of the old ones never died and now make up large grids of Group N Historic cars and they’re just as exciting to watch as they always were.
 

The weekend is also celebrating the long racing career of VSCC stalwart, John Budgen who passed away recently.
