What is 3.3 Litre Holdens?

3.3 Litre Holdens is the coming together of two until now divergent arms of Motor Racing. The first generation of 3.3 Litre Holden - the HQ - officially started racing in Australia in the late 1980's - a strictly controlled one-make class, with low-budget racing the main aim. Sometime after the establishment of the HQ category, the Kingswood Racing category was born, allowing a limited number of alternative parts to be fitted to similar HQ and HZ Holdens, with improved performance and longer-life the main aims.

Now in the AMRS 3.3 Litre Holden category, cars from both backgrounds will be eligible to compete for outright honours, and for class honours - the earlier, first generation cars will battle for "Q-Car" honours, while the second generation cars will vy for "K-Car" honours. The cars will bear a large, yellow Q or K on the rear-side window so spectators can tell who is in each class.
