Des Gibbs owns his old group E starion still, that mark boxsell used to crew on back in the day.. Was apparently as successful as the factory backed cars at the time.

Sounds like a good excuse for a longish drive :)

I have a couple of good customers racing & was hoping to go and watch/help, but we have committed to sponsoring the Tamworth local drag meet that weekend.

What an awesome looking event, there doesn't look to be any restriction on what vehicles can enter?

Looks a bit better in the front today than in 1986!
