“This Historic Motor Cycle Racing Register of South Australia was first formed in 1977, known at that time as the Classic Racing Association. The name was changed in 1986 adopting the title “Historic”, which signifies the real nature and purpose of the organisation, but the title “Classic” is still used in defining racing events which are exclusively for the machines which qualify for competition in this category”
