Local legend, part time '60s DJ & mate, Ken Brookes & the equally legendary "Roarin' Rat" '57 Chevy. I remember buying the issue of Custom Car with this on the cover many, many years ago.

Raising money for Scottie the hotrod haulier's family after his tragic early death from cancer a fortnight ago. He was a big guy with an even bigger personality & was a regular at the tracks.

My big brother Steve's Chevy engined slingshot, with it's eye catching Mondrian inspired paintwork. He builds these for a living along with all sorts of other metal fabrication. Chassis, bodywork, roll cage, suspension, wheelie bars -the lot. Even does his own paint. His missus, Lesley, builds the engines.
No cooling system & minimal fuel tanks mean most race cars are towed to & from the track. Which means crew & forum member Chris, (Forgotten), gets to pilot it back to the pits.

Another big name race car, Honky Tonkin', suffered major engine breakage over the weekend. It's an expensive game.

Another of my favourites, "Frankenstein" was built by a garage with help from students at the local college. They often turn out to support it.
