my track car

Most of my race car photos have already been posted on here. Use the search function as the system won't allow a second posting.

Here is one I took on last Sunday. It is a pre WW2 sprint car now rigged with four wheel brakes and a clutch and gearbox to run on road circuits. It had a 318 Offenhauser (rare) but now has a 270. Current owner bought it and found it had a cracked crankshaft. A new crank was made locally and Gordon Clough did the rebuild. Awesome noise.

Curent owner says downshifting to second for the corners at Qld. Raceway made no great difference to lap times. The Offy has so much grunt at lower revs that it just powers out of the corners without hesitation.

Real race cars have front engines and open wheels.

Hey Welby, just to show that we both live the Torana dream. My Torry has nothing like the race pedigree of yours (or any of the other monsters in this thread), but it tries with at least a XU1 spec engine and an A9X diff.


This pic is a powerslide at full noise in 4th gear good fun
