    Phillip Island

    Great car racing at the Island this weekend with various catagories. Super sedans,vee's,formula fords,HQ's. There was a Honda with a mid mounted 6 lt Chev in her. What a fantastic sounding machine. Chevy Nova powered by a 327ci, Mustangs, VC comm, but without dought the closest racing was from the HQ boys. Thanks to the boys from Mcdonald Racing for the very entertaining day out. Good to see Damian from Harrop with his unusual engineered Torana doing real well. His engine is a Holden 6 lower with a 250 Ford crossflow head that has been fitted backwards????? Three throttle bodies. Man what a beast

    Bloody freezing Bean Man, good air but McDonald boys went real good with a first and a second on Sunday. The old 202ci engines still sound pretty good coming down the main straight

    Nothing like a bit of 'old school' don't you think? (and that's coming from a young fella like me)

    Missed a good day mate. Murray Carter's Corvette was sounding awsome as was Seaton's old EL super car

    I reckon a blown clubby would fit the bill nicely

    chev,
    Yes we had a very successful weekend finishing third outright in the changing dry to wet conditions on slicks
    We win many a bet with the old "Guess what engine it is?"
    Good to catch up.
