Classic Action Motorcycle Sport Inc. (S.I) club was formed over 20 years ago in Christchurch, NZ, by a group of racers wanting to keep the classic bikes of yesteryear on the South Island racetracks, many of these machines were "SPECIALS", B31's, B50's, etc. running parts that were not completely original to these bikes when they came out of their factories.

Some very clever local racers/engineers completely re-engineered the originals to take more modern internal parts, of Japanese manufacture and rebuilt gearboxes with more gears, etc. These machines therefore did not meet the more stringent requirements of the national register of classic racing machines and this breakaway group came into being. Today C.A.M.S has many original classics and specials in its classes.

Pre 72 machines entered the class structure earlier on in C.A.M.S history and since then the Pre 82 class and recently the Pre 89 class was incepted.

C.A.M.S although based in Christchurch and calling "Ruapuna International Raceway" its home track compete at Teretonga in Invercargill, "Levels" in Timaru and at all the South Island Street Race Circuits, starting at Nelson in January, Methven in April, Greymouth in October, Wyndham in November and in a year or so at a new Street Race meeting being planned for Balclutha.

The club is a competitive race club but it's philosophy on racing is about fun, competing and presentation of its machinery.

C.A.M.S has six meetings of its own over the year but as mentioned competes in the other street races and has classes included in the B.E.A.R.S Winter Series and Motorcycling Canterbury Events.

C.A.M.S also caters to the other classes inside its meetings having a close relationship to the B.M.R.C, the miniature road race class (BUCKETS) and the Street Stock 150 class, where new younger riders are taught the proper way to race motorcycles.
