Veteran stock car racers will be meeting up for their annual Northern Stock Car Veterans Reunion on 4 March.
The event will see drivers and fans from the 60s through to the present day gather to enjoy Ray Liddy films, a quiz and have a catch-up.
Organiser Steve Hayward, of Leewood Motor Club, said: "The Rochdale area has given stock car racing lots of drivers and before Morrisons came to the town there was a track on the site, so there is lots of history in the area."
Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing, which is run on oval tracks. A stock car has not been modified from its original factory configuration, unlike a custom-built race car.
Leewood Motor Club was founded in the 1970s and was an amalgamation of Lancs & Cheshire Autograss and Leesona-Holt rally club.
The free event takes place from 7.30pm at the Boarhurst Band Club in Greenfield near Oldham.
