Sponsored by Rod Penrose Racing. Driven by me.
Last owner was Clyde, and he kept his engine, so we'll be running a fresh motor.
Comes with everything else needed to go racing, just need a few late nights to check that all works as it should.
Henry, any videos (film?) of you and the buggy? Maybe some photos?

Craig, maybe some VHS if I can dig them out of the archives. However, I do have some (good?) shots of the underside of the polished aluminium
floorpan and deformed wheelie bars from Eastern Creek Raceway in '92. I'll bring 'em with me to Portland.-H
