Classic & Sportscar meeting 2009 - Våler, Norway.

This is a very popular and fast growing event within motorsport in Norway.

Watching Mini Coopers from the sixties compeeting against Ford Mustangs from the same period (and beating them when wet!) is huge fun. Licenced race drivers are in a variety from young girls in their twenties up to this years grand old man, 84 year old Swede Erik Berger, driving a very fast Ford Escort Twin Cam!
