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.

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?
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.

Yep, same driver & car.

Havn't noticed the black/gold JB in this one before, i'll have to watch it properly on the tv when I get home..
