SA Street Machiners Celebrate Club Rego Win

HUGE TURNOUT FOR SMASA CLUB REGISTRATION INFORMATION DAY AT ADELAIDE’S FOOTBALL PARK

- Andrew Broadley

YOU’VE got to celebrate your victories when you get them, and modified car owners in South Australia had a hell of a win when the state’s previously restrictive concessional registration scheme was dramatically overhauled as of 1 July 2017. So what better way to acknowledge the occasion than to stage a bit of a get-together?

Under the old version of the scheme, there were no provisions for modified or post-1979 vehicles, and rules were particularly strict concerning left-hook cars. Now that the scheme has been revised, any number of legal modifications are permitted, a rolling 30-year vehicle age requirement has been introduced, and a huge amount of red tape has been trimmed from procedures and practices. It’s a watershed moment for South Aussie street machiners, and one well worth acknowledging with a huge informal car show.
