Don't score to many points Tony, not enough tyre smoke and it should be going 'blip,blip,blip' ie limiter,limiter,limiter, not brap brap brap. Those days there was a thing called Torque/grunt and throttle control. And drifting is new.


Remember this day well.....we choreographed this race Rod....until you bloody spun...I returned to the race and caught up and past Jim for third place....ha ha ha .........................................I still do drifting apparently....ask SVG...and Murf..........and thanks Paul I will see if I can get myself a copy. Kind regards, Tony Rutherford

Hi Tony,

There are a couple of sub-$20 copies on Trademe right now. Your car is one of the most featured individual cars so well worth getting a copy. I assume you've slready got a copy of the history of Rotaries in NZ - you and the Green Machine get a few pages there too.

Cheers,
Paul.
