Graeme Park with Murray Park Marina, Currently rebuilding for this coming season. Its due a coat of Black Paint in the next week or so.
Whilst it originally ran with a P76 turbo V8, it was later re powered with a Chev, and thats what it will run now
Due to the engine placement an armrest may be required on the front exhaust header.
The pterodactyl is now a phoenix rising again to terrorize the HSS front rows of the grid....
See Graeme in his blue Anglia from 1967 ,almost 50 years ago, on the Allcomer thread.
Good long term dedication to motor racing.
Great pix Roger, thanks for the update, looking really exciting for later this year.

This from Graeme Addis-
Chris Watson, the promoter of the Ice Breaker Meeting at Hampton Downs Sept 10 /11 2016, has expressed an interest in the idea we could run a modified V8 sedan all comers, pre 1993, set of races at that meeting.
This is a great pre-season shake down opportunity, and a chance to have a lot good old fun.
Chris has said if it works he is keen to make it an annual event.
If you are an owner, group representative, club captain, please send me your expression of interest to present to Chris.
It would be great if you can put the word out there (FB etc).

Really looking forward to seeing the cars and most likely for me will be Manfield. Does anyone know if Wayne Huxford will have the car going since restoration and George will be there in the Sidchrome Mustang. I will be posting some old TV footage I found on video soon to youtube of a couple of races, ( when I can get it to work too ) so will let you know, quality average but brings back the memories.
sorry, will George be there?
Doesn't this thread need a new title?
Yes probably does need a new title for the season ahead, so maybe time to start one. Anyway a few videos I managed to take off and post are here. Sorry for the quality but the tapes are a bit shot. This should take you to the you tube page with the five races I have.
