The Roaring Season

Hey Steve you were saying how you impressed that we had two 65/66 mustang fastbacks racing at one time at riverside, well to take that a bit further we also had a 69 boss mustang racing in the same grade it was owned by Trevor Uren, and we had a 66 notch back wich was owned by Roddy Ingles, and ...

Yeah it was very interesting talking to you Jac, I learnt a lot from that talk, it's a pity that you can't put it up here as there was quite a bit of funny stuff in that talk, and some of the guys on this site might get a laugh out of it, but thanks again for the phone call Jac

Jac after last night I started thinking Peter run my mustang at full song down that side road by Charlton, and I don't know if I told you that he broke the end of my gearbox when he had jus finished running it at full song on Russell Murrys rollers,he just backed of and it let go sending the ...

Jac as I'm new to this site where do I go to read the attachment that you are going to post, does it still come up here?or do I need to go to some other area?thanks Merv

Jac when you all built the firebird, did the chassis come from speedway engineering in L A, why I ask is Peter took us there when we went to the States with him, he more or less said to us that this car that they were building there at the time that his new race car would be the same, those guys ...

Yeah Jac I did get the most of the front suspension from Peters mustang,I tell you what, this conversation about the mustangs is very interesting, I thought that I knew most things about both of these mustangs, I often spoke to Peter about his car as I use to pit crew a lot for him when Bill Brand ...

Merv again I know that it was done in the mustang, but what year I don't know.

Yeah I for one would love to know if it was Peter Woods car that they put in a hole on there farm,the Boultons would be the only people to ask if it's there, all the talk around Peters mustang is saying that it is in a hole on the Boultons farm,it's a shame if that is true as that mustang was a ...

Well that's cleared up a few things for me as well Jac I thought Woods was talking about his race car forgot about the Shelby that he owned well it's all sorted out now, I must say that the motor that I did end up with was a good one you made a good job of building it,I'm sorry if I lead you astray ...

Merv here I'm very glad all you guys are interested in my mustang,I must admit it really looked a nice car, but I had a lot to learn about driving it, I was and never would be a Peter Woods ,but I loved the sport and the people I meet in this sport, and it thought that if you are going to race with ...
