Monty does pretty good work.

You would've seen plenty of his work when you both were based with bourbon racing before it all turned to crap

Yeah, he would build the chassis, then myself and another mate would turn them into a race car. The three of us were a bunch of scruffy looking bums, yet somehow we managed to produce a good result, sometimes ;D

Monty was the only person I've ever seen TIG welding with a mirror before. I've said it before, and still believe he's the best chassis builder in the country.

The devils number.

Years ago, when Greg and Col were running the 55, after running a 6:66 the ol 55 managed to unassembled more engines on the track than the staff could do in the shop.

Nostalgias are on again next Sunday at Willowbank. All pre 78 model cars and 84 bikes. Should be a good meet with a decent amount of entries, as the 1/8th mile series is on Saturday also. Quite a few racers staying on from the 1/8th mile to run again at the Nostalgias.

Shane knows the rules.

Unless its upside down or on fire, keep the boot in it.

I see ya mates car got a pic in the Dragnews.com.au website on the write up from the week-end.

I loved the chop top kombi van.

If you spotted the little Fiat Topolino running under Fitzgerald Racing, that's the one I ran a 7:43 @180 mph in back in about 2000 or thereabouts. It had a blown small block back then though.

Not that I was counting them or anything, but there's 3 photos of a certain white Camaro in that story too  ;D

Didn't see the Topolino, didn't see much at all actually, as you know, you don't see a lot when you're racing.

I built that Buick about 7 or so years ago.

Ow gee, did I forget to mention the white Camaro..... silly me.  ::)

How come they ran 1/8 mile?

It's a bit easier on the parts though, not too many blow up in 660 feet, although the Buick looked like it ran the best part of a 1,000 feet.  ;D

We ran the 1/8 mile at Tamworth in the datto, geez it was hard to lift so soon.

There was a TnT Friday night, JP 1/8th mile series on Saturday (has 4 rounds, Warwick, Willowbank, Benaraby and Roma) then Nostalgias on Sunday.

Yeah, someone needs to show him where half track is  :D
(Must admit though, one of my passes went to around 1000'. Car was VERY unsettled at 660' and there was no way I was getting on the chute or brakes there  ;D Was behaving itself by around 1000' so I got off it then)

1/8th mile doesn't really appeal to me much. It does even up the racing a bit and reaction time is everything, which is why I don't like it ;D My RT sucks arse, big time  ::)

I was most times, pretty good on the tree, but I did earn the nick-name "Cherry Ripe" a couple of times too.

Even the slightest hint of the last yellow, and it was "Let's get the f*ck outta here"
