For the purpose of this category, and to group similar body styles, the definition of this group is:-

Any American production vehicle manufactured over the years 1930 to 1959, built in the manner to represent 'Moonshine' smuggler's cars in the prohibition times in the USA.

The intent is to have vehicles that appear standard, but may have high performance engine modifications to enhance performance, in order to out-run the law makers of the day.

Variations to the General Rules.

Cars must comply with General rules, as well as rules for Road Cars, except as described below.

A Concourse will be held for the first round, of the first series.

All requirements for Road Car Interior must be met, except for:-

Roll cage (4 or 6 point) may be installed.

Vehicle appearance must be standard.  No modifications are allowed.

ie No performance enhanced kit bodies to be used.  No Hot Rods, Customs, Race versions etc.

a/ Cars (Coupes and sedans), Pick-ups, Wagons, and Vans as Moonshiner's vehicles.

b/ Sedans (2 or 4 door) for Police or FBI vehicles.
