Default Vic club permit scheme

I have been a member of a car club for about 6 years that is not a participant in the Vicroads club permit scheme and I have had enough of paying a full years rego on something I might drive 30 days a year.
Does anyone know of a Victorian car club that is a participant in the club permit scheme that does not make you wait 12 months before they consider you worthy of it?

Hi have a look at the asrf Australian street rod federation. They have recently taken a vote to cover all types of vehicles 25 years and older. Get a rwc they inspect the vehicle and you are away club permit.
cheers

Some clubs don't require RWC, but its completely at the discression of the club.
They do however have to inspect the car, to ensure it is Safe and 'Road worthy'

I would have thought if the car was going on public roads then a RWC is a given.

Nope, Some clubs have technical officers which have the authority to sign off cars within their club.
However it is in the clubs best interest to ensure cars are as close to road worthy as possible.

Well there you go...classic, why would the brake system be illegal? Under which section? Id find that hard to believe..emissions stuff is always touchy. Is it the rims that you need to run to clear them being to big compared to standard?

I am a member of a car race club, involved in Autocross, and the scruitneer needs to check the vehicle for safety. Pretty much a standard pre race check for us, and a check that the lights work. There are other such clubs out there.
