Thought I'd throw this one in to prove that Craig Paton has raced his car... albeit well over 10 years ago.

C'mon Craig Warwick has been on 3 times and still it isn't there. You got just under 9 months dude......

I saw it Matt but didn't have a camera handy. Lucky my cousin got the Indy shots as i was off wandering up the straight checking out the scenery.....

not you racing at surfers but anything from Action day OR any shots of you running the tube car the few times you took it to the track.

Craig,

I've got madness tucked away safely in my shed. Can I get any higher resolution copies of those photos? I am trying to see how it looked for a resto, albit with a more powerful donk.

I thought i had a run at surfer's in the bus!! And i do remember racing Darryl Yates in the chop top. That thing was that noisy I couldn't even hear my car over his till i noticed that just before the lights went that my oil light and charge light were on!!

Yep it stalled and i couldn't even feel it!! I did beat Darryl over the first 30 feet......

Hi Brendon,I thought that was a figment of my imagination!

WE're close now, just waiting on some bits to be manufactured, some electrical work needs to be done,some stainless steel stuff and then a few hundred k's on the engine.

Yeah pretty sure blue bug was Trevor's. Anybody have a pic of a dark blue metallic late 60's beetle with Porsche lace wire rims on it that was raced at Action day about the same time. It was my cousin's car that I raced for him one year cause he couldn't make it. Think it also had disc brake conversion painted pink(not my choice but Pagey loved it LOL) and had a sunroof. Early bumpers with no over riders too. Was quite funny as it had a 1640 in it and i was beating blokes with 1835's and 1916's quite easy LOL.
