Gordon Mitchell V8 in Australia

Post by locost_bryan » Fri Jun 14, 2013 4:40 am

Just been reading Chris' V8 page.

"Pictured here racing a Camaro and either a Galaxy or a Fairlane." The Camaro is a Chrysler Valiant Charger (either 4.3l six on triple webers or V8) and the Fairmont is a Falcon GTHO Phase III (5.8l V8) :thumbup:

Also found a couple more pics of Neil Byers Leyland Marina, at Amaroo Park

It never ceases to amaze me, looking back at these old touring car races, at how many different racing lines were available through corners, all seemingly viable! Maybe Gow and the BTCC should take note - make the suspension softer and less reactive and maybe the racing would be a bit less processional..... :-D
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
