Thanks to Cruzin magazine for hosting the Shannons Nostalgia Drags once again at Western Sydney International Dragway.

The event marked 12 months since the first HA/GR passes in Australia. The first field saw 6 cars making history and taking drag racing 50 years back to when a guy with a few tools and pile of parts could tear up the track. This year the Nostalgia Drags was host to a field of 10 Hambsters. With at least another 5 finished or almost ready we are seeing the start of a revolution in traditional homegrown racers.


Rod Hadfield shows Sydney his Humber powered HAMBster.
