The "Pom" as it is called by the members of the Vintage Sports Car Club is the only event in the club's calendar that members can enter with a modern car.

The event was originally conceived by Lawrence Pomeroy jnr. and is based on a complicated formula which takes into account such factors as the luggage accommodation and whether a car has four wheel brakes. It is only open to cars with an engine capacity of 1.5-litres or more.

It was popularly believed amongst club members that the formula was heavily biased towards 30-98 Vauxhalls which were designed by Pomeroy senior. Recently more modern cars have tended win.


The winner of the very first "Pom" was Peter Binns in a Vauxhall 30-98.
