Re: Christchurch Drag Racing 70's and 80's

This is bloody fantastic Bry! Where do you find this stuff? The Impala jump is pretty mental. What were they thinking? That thing must weigh 2 tons. I vaguely recall an Impala being used in a stunt shot for the Shaker Run movie, where gets fired off a jump ramp. I don't think it was actually used ...

Re: Speedway Westport

Lol.... I have many fond memories of that track racing a 4-speed PC Cresta which I built with a couple of others. We then built a Worsely and then I helped my Brother build a Victor and somewhere in between I rescued and rebuilt an EJ Holden. I had a few interesting times racing Streetstocks in ...

It was the 1st HDT Torana which has had some very famous Drivers behind its wheel and raced at some very historic events including Bathurst (misfire problems), Sandown (2nd from Moffat), and it did a couple of 1971 ATCC races before it was turned into ...

Re: XUI Torana Race Cars in NZ

Antons car is one very well balanced package and to beat it in the rain is commendable for sure and I can understand your feeling as this has to be one of the best if not thee best in its class. I know where Dale is coming from as I have seen his car and driving and he is no slouch, so for a nicely ...
