2023 Holden Nationals

The 2023 Tuff Mounts Holden Nationals was looking to be bigger and better than the previous year with another two days of racing and it didn’t disappoint with well over 200 entrants coming through the gates at Heathcote Park Raceway.

Heathcote Raceway ran a Test & Tune on the Thursday that attracted a numbers of entrants preparing for the weekend of racing.

Plenty of first timers and regulars battled it out in the nine classes, with the quarter mile classes racing under DYO format and the heads-up Eighth-Mile classes running Pro-Tree. With the weather being near on perfect allowing the track conditions to produce a large number of PB’s and huge wheel stands this was the best Holden Nationals yet.
