Whanganui Street Drags .Parts 1+2

[fotorabia]

Here with annual report that was requested: our annual street drags organized by the local hot rod club...not sure what the fastest times passed were..but the Willys Gasser was phenomenal..along with quite a few other machines...big laughs from the crowd on the non starters..and the Mini beat the red 40s pickup....

This was an old skool project..passed from father to son..i liked a lot..

Nice, thanks for that Rab. Do like the paintjob on that 'Cuda.

[fotorabia]

Yeah bro..thanks..the tubbed n stroked Valiant Coupe was driven by an older Maori lady..who happened to be a heavily tattooed marriage celebrant!..and it rocketed faster than u could say divorce!

Great pics - a bit boring of me but I possibly like the V8 100e the most.Is that a band shirt you're wearing? If so, what band?

[fotorabia]

Yeah..the 100E is cool..with period 70s GT Falcon 12slot wheels..the t-shirt is a Wellington band...Evil Ocean!

[Pete-M]

That XJ looks great with those wheels. I'd never have suspected that could possibly work.. but I like that, lots.I love the Holden with the JONSV8 plate as well. Nicely scruffy but it looks like it goes rather well.

[trigger]

I'm just jealous that everyone is wearing T-Shirts and shorts... Great photo's BTW, That Daimler is nice though not sure about the modern rimage.

[VWPowered]

 

OMG thats one fugly beast, awesome

[barrett]

OMG thats one fugly beast, awesome

Careful, say that in Oz and yer likely to get yer ass kicked!

[fotorabia]

Do you know what engine was in the XJ6?How did it get on?EDIT: Looks as though it might be a Daimler.

yeah its a Daimler..small block Chev powered..its standard practice here in NZ..biff the dead six out and put a bullet proof V8 in..it sounded fantastic..not sure on the score card tho..

[Gompo]

the t-shirt is a Wellington band...Evil Ocean!

Cheers, listening now..
