HQ Racing Nationals:

The idea to race HQs was created by a group of enthusiasts in Tasmania, who could see that there was a need for a class of racing that the average person on the street could get into at a relatively low cost.

The first official HQ race was held at Baskerville Raceway in October 1988, expanding to its first hitout on the mainland at Winton Raceway, Victoria, in August the following year.

HQ Racing continued to grow quickly reaching 500 competing cars, and the series is truly national, with all states and territories represented.

To keep costs low, development has been kept to a minimum, with cars running the 202 ‘red’ motor, three-speed gearboxes and standard differentials. Suspension, camshafts and tyres are control items.
