The Allansford-based club on Tuesday confirmed American Carson Macedo, two-time classic champion Steven Lines, highly-rated driver Ian Madsen, Eddie Lumbar, Ryan Jones and south-west competitors Jake Smith and Jack Lee would contest the three-night event.

The seven new entries will join a 75-car field which includes Warrnambool-based trio Jamie Veal, James McFadden and Corey McCullagh - all former classic champions in their own right - and 2019 winner Robbie Farr.

Premier Speedway general manager David Mills said the club was delighted with the quality and quantity of entries.

"To get 80-plus cars in a COVID year when we've basically excluded most of the Western Australian teams and most of the internationals is great," he said.

"I think it's a fantastic result and it's something as a club, we're very grateful to the car owners and drivers that are prepared to come and race with us.

"Sometimes we probably take that for granted. We're very, very appreciative of their efforts and to take a bit of a punt on us and support the event which is still probably being run at somewhat of a risk to us as a club given the current environment but we're striving to push forward."

Mills said the club was keen to press on with the event's famous three-night format after COVID-19 restrictions forced it to cancel the 2021 edition. A replacement show - dubbed the Fifty for 50 - ran in its place.

"It was always designed around returning to the three-night format, it was never not going to be that," he said. "We had an alternate format which involved all the cars running on all three nights if the car count didn't reach the threshold we were after but we've exceeded that now.

"We're back to the traditional format. We'll probably split 41 and 41 on each of the qualifying nights which will work nicely into the third night as well as far as car numbers go."

The classic will run across January 21, 22 and 23.
