ALL ABOUT SPEED

The only front engine fuel dragster on the property was Norm Longfield’s ex-WW2 car. Last time out he ran a 6.12 and while a five didn’t appear on the scoreboards the team were on the right path. With ex-altered racer, Richard Botica calling the shots the car went out and ran back to back 6.09/211 and 6.07/227 times and came home with an intact engine. Prior to his first pass Longfield told me that he had high hopes for the race and finally he has proved to be a force in Nostalgia racing down under.
