The day will include a combination of Round 2 of the Australian Auto-Sport Alliance (AASA) NSW Motor Racing Championships which will feature Super TT, Legend Cars and BMW E30s and the St George Motorcycle Club 1600 cc Unlimited and BEARS motorcycle categories.
Operations manager Matt Baragwanath says he is excited about welcoming both disciplines.
This ideas came about after reflection of last year’s successful historic race meet in September which included revivals, bikes and cars which pre-1963. Baragwanath hopes it will attract similar numbers.
“We needed the opportunity,” he said. “Spectators should expect good entertainment and a mix of bike and cars.”
Race day will take place on Saturday afternoon and all day on Sunday. Entry for this event is free
“We’ve deliberately made it free entry to generate interest from both worlds and to get people to come along - for both worlds of motor sports to run at the venue,” Baragwanath said.

Riders to watch in the Unlimited motorcycle category include Michael McMillan and Dominic De Leon, with McMillan also racing in the BEARS category.
In the 600cc class, front-runners are likely to include Michael Jeffrey and Hayden Spinks.In terms of the four-wheeled action, the feature races on the program will be the one-hour Super TT endurance races, which will include compulsory pit stops and the option of one or two drivers.
The endurance format has attracted a 27-car field encompassing a diversity of cars. TT regulars like Brad Bassett (Ford Falcon), brothers Endree and Dori Saade (BMW M3), Mathew Cosier (Holden Gemini) and Bruce Robertson (Holden Commodore).
The twin endurance races has attracted Wakefield 300 winner Adam Burgess (joined by Nick Filipetto) and Daniel Kapetanovic (partnered by David Krusza in the Pinnacle Automotive BMW 328i).
The Legend Cars, a growing popularity sport, will hold their second circuit racing event of the season.
Baragwanath says events like these will continue at Wakefield Park if there is continued support for it.
