custaxie 2

[AMCO72]

Bringing this Custaxie thing over from Leadfoot.

Why are you so concerned that the wheels aren't 15" Dale? Its not a Muscle Car contender, I don't think!!!!!!! They were about 15" WIDE if not in diameter. It actually changed the whole LOOK of the car, to give it a much more aggressive stance.

NOW.............

I have in my possession a pit information board that was displayed with the Custaxie 2 when it raced at Teretonga in February 2011, when it was still owned by Robbie. Angus actually drove the car for Robbie for a few races, and the pair of them, plus the mechanics spent much time frigging around with the brakes and front end to try and get it to handle and stop.
At the end of racing for the weekend we were just cleaning up, as you did, when I discovered this board in the rubbish. Being me, I decided that I would take it with me, for no reason at all, except that I liked it and the 'history' of the car displayed. The Custaxie 2 and its crew had long gone so I thought ,well one day I might meet up with the car again and give it back. This hasn't happened and I still have it.



It is headed up.........1966 Custaxie A truly legendary car......
It makes interesting reading and the details were supplied by someone close to the car.

What I would like to do is photogragh it and post it on the roaring season. It might open a few eyes!!!!!!!
Mind you, it might have been put into the rubbish for a reason, as it is inaccurate to say the least........or IS it ???????????????
Would be interesting to compare it with the new board to see if there are any differences!

Am going to have to upgrade my computer skills considerably to do this.........but one day.
