Whilst looking for that pic of the Dato'-Ferrari, I found some pic's of the Nat's at West Wyalong that may be of interest to some that never went, and remanisant for those who did.
This one is of the parade up the main street as part of some local festival that coincided with our event. Up front is a genuine 289 roadster (to which there has been some conjecture whether it is actually a modified ACE). This shot is from WW2 or WW3.
Next one is of one of the characters that always add to the vibe of an event. Sydneysider Dale Benge, drag racer and yankee iron importer, has an Arnts replica and always had all the go fast bits on. This year he had rootes style blower with nitrous 302 W rev limited to 8K, the noise from the pipes was piercing.
He used to tell a good story about how he was booked by Goulburn cops on the freeway heading home from WWyalong, but not for speeding, noise but for vision impairment by the blower. They argued the piont for a while untill the copper did the old "how many fingers am I holding up" trick.
The following year he turned up with a centrif style blower and injection.
