Today I turned the clock back nearly 30 years – it’s been that long since I’ve been in a worked V8 powered Holden. In 79 I did the Repco Round Australia Trial in a Monaro with a worked 308 and it could go pretty hard. Today I went a few laps in a standard Commodore V8 something fitted with Production Car Racing Tyres and guess what – Holden have come a long way in 30 years – the power is enormous and the brakes – wow. The cornering speeds are more than I could have imagined and you’ll never understand that from watching V8 racing on TV or at Trackside. Even though it wasn’t a Ford I have to confess to having had an enormous amount of pleasure and enjoyment today.

A few pics.
Saturday – Scott has decided he needs some racing so it’s off to Logan for us – Scott to race and me to watch – oh well can’t have excitement everyday.
Sunday – mmm the Qld Titles for GP Onroad are on at Brendale and teh finals will be on Sunday – should be worth teh drive out for a look.
