About Us

The Vintage Speedcar Association of Queensland was formed in 1983 by a group of ex drivers, pit crew and fans of these mighty little cars we affectionately call ' midgets'. The aim of the association is to preserve the fabulous history of the cars and drivers that provided so much entertainment for Queenslanders from the 1930s.
