See and hear the 'Gricey' Torana A9X in-car for two
laps of the combined Group C & Group A race at
the 2018 Muscle Car Masters, held at Sydney Motorsport
Park, Eastern Creek, on the weekend of June 9-10.
We caught up with owner Tony Sawford to get some insights
as to why he loves this car.
Ed Singleton presented Tony with the 2nd Annual
"Jim Richards Clubman Trophy" in a reenactment of
the ceremony from the night before.

    Love how he winds the window up as soon as the noisy little rotary Mazda pulls up alongside him ;)

    Gricey always gave 100% and never gave up. Congrats on the Jim Richards trophy and keeping the A9X where it belongs.

    Pro Tip: Holden V8's had 253 and 308 cast into the block. A9X 5.0l V8's had HP cast into the block.

    My older brother said only today how ugly & bad handling a A9X was.I had a A9X myself & knew it was a Aussie collectors dream .In 1998 all I could sell my 127,000K A9X for was $13,000.It was in mint condition except it did not have the original 308 motor no more.I had the Hotwire 10 & 8 inch rims but got a Yellow sticker & told not legal with them.Race use only.

    The only thing that may be not so good about this category is these cars being rare and precious. Otherwise, it's just amazing. Watching this make me think those cars are a fair bit harder to drive quick than the new. I'm into Fords but the one time I drove a friends LX with a 350hp 308 it was a twitchy car to drive even with that power. I bet these guys are awake.

    Muscle Car Masters was the name of the meeting. It was a meeting that was primarily there to highlight muscle cars in several categories but not restricted to muscle cars. My own BMW M3 has done very well there over the years and you can hardly call a 2300cc N/A motor a muscle car as well.
