Definately keen to see this hit the track for a somewhat of a "rebirth"

Sorry for the delay with an answer.
Definitely be at Warwick............ and need to be there to tow "Rocket" Rod Penrose (a.k.a. Captain Snooze) out of bed. The 'Dog with all that extra power and a heavy duty snatch strap will definitely be required, as I hear he'll be camped at the track and he always party's hard! 😁😁😁
Look forward to seeing it in the flesh

Dear Mat..did you mean 8am ??? I talk to Rod frequently...Unlike Dangerous Dave & myself he can have big nights & lots of calories & he only has to adjust manifold pressure to compensate.Dangerous & I are either walking,dieting or bike riding to attain a reasonable power to weight ratio.Both Dangerous & myself know that if it came to a 1/4 mile 3 way challenge in joggers..we know who the front runners would be !!! The ghostbusters is in reference to the bottom picure at page 3 !!! ps Andrew & Mat..what is this about being dummies....never run yourselves down like that as there are plenty of people out there that will do it for you !!!.Regards..Ross.
Ross , for your infomation , I have so much power that I need to keep the front wheels on the ground . I will be fitting a rear view mirror to my car now that you are going to Warwick just so I can keep an eye on how far behind you will be . I will be arriving at Warwick a day earlier , just so I can gat a good camping spot close to the canteen , ROD.

Mat..bingo !!!Rocket is still up did you see the time he did the last post..10.22pm..Well Allison least whilst he is up you
must be enjoying all that respite !!! Rod we are just finishing off the last of the car a new reinforced parachute attachment. I have engineered it so it can be used as a tow hitch so I can guarantee you that decent pass. The rear vision mirror is the best innovation to your outfit...it should provide at least one beneficial feature...sufficient indication to prevent you from running over your pit crew when you back up !!! My only worry about Warwick
is the possibility of a food shortage...Rod I think it is not far to town is that right ??? All jokes aside I am looking forward to that week end & the putting of 5 & 1/2 years work on the track.So pleased to know that
Keegs (Silver fox Keegan) has continuing interest...At Castlereagh in the early seventies when that Camel car would stage all the crowd would stand up as they do to the fuellers these days...Rod unlike you & I when we go out the fair
dinkum blokes will probably wander off to the toilet & the girls will readdress their make-up...Goodnight.Ross.

Ross , I will look for my pushbke today just in case they run out of food . Yes that's right I own a bike , I have had it for over ten years and the tyres are still like new . I will look forward to finally seeing the car run again because I didn't even own a race car when it was last on the track all of those years ago . ROD.

The only grudge match that will be better than Pagey and Westi with the "pink" saga last year will be seeing Rod and Ross doing the 1/8 on foot lol.

Thanks for the humour gentleman..this forum certainly has provided much enjoyment & laughs.Success is not about speed...winning is about the the good humour & comaraderie when the cars are on the trailer in one piece as the driver !! Rod maybe you & I could have a grudge race on our pushbikes at Warwick...but after all those years you have been 2 wheel inactive hence the trainer wheels will cause you too much drag...to be fair we could do it on a dial you own basis & not heads up..Cheers Ross.
Go the heads up pushy race boy's.
I'd like to see that.👍👍
Rod, it's only 1/8 th mile

Ok , lets wind this up a notch , i'll personally put a $100 on the line for the winner to see Ross & Rod drag race on pushies .

To be true to the era (of the cars ... not the gentlemen concerned) and style it needs to be dragsters with a 3 speed t-bar shift and a banana seat. 🙅
Vassy, no offence , but you have obviosly not priced a Malvern Star Dragster of late , as 2k plus comes to mind EACH that is !!!!!!

I reckon penny farlings would be interesting....

Do not give "Rocket Rod"too much encouragement especially with a prize purse attached. He is likely to turn up with a brand new custom made titanium 2 wheeler just made for Warwick & ditch the air cooled grudge match.His biggest challenge with him wanting push bike line honours would be what he would have to purchase for an appropriate tow vehicle..Rod-a Lincoln Continental Limmo with a chrome trailer would be the go !!! Then we could go for a lap of honour in the back of it,you could shout from the bar conveniently located near the leather seats when you present "The Royal Fitness Trophy" to me & Rod try and source one with a pie oven !!! Now Andrew Westwood is
putting up a 100 bucks for the winner so you are not working with much budget..would you split it if we did the same ET ?....I would want a back to back re-run...that wouldl test you if you haven't trained..Ross
It would have to be best of 3 for the 100
another vote for a push bike race!
Thanks for your support Mick...Certainly would make a good feature race.Dave B...yes need to be like Canberra
(3/1989) best of 3.Could you organise a defribulator to strap on Rocket's bike..better still I think we"ll pre-race connect it
to him.Dave you can ref the contest as the blokes he went to school with reckoned he used to fudge playing marbles in
the lunch hour..
At least if it rained we would have some entertainment support...I think I might bring a wet tyre for the rear just in case
...for a startline advantage.
At least I've still got all my marbles , ROD.

Rod............touchez !!! You won that round..now are you that sharp at the startline ??
bring on the dragsters ........................... ( push bikes )
Ross i still have good reaction times
Dave..it will be good to catch up with you again after all these years..I am glad you are still line sharp..
Rocket has got me wondering now about my marble content.I guess it is not that hard to find drivers !!
ps I think the pushbike derby should be a starter !!
Maybe Burchell can race too and we can see if his starts are all he talks them up to be?? Anybody else want to join in a round robin pushy race maybe sat arvo after racing finishes??? Could be some quality entertainment I think....

Now the pushies is something I can afford to enter and may even stand a chance 🤓
Just get those race cars in TOP shape and get out there and bluddy race !!!!
