Rusty iron rally 2013

This year the rally featured a Stanley steamer and a 1968 built rail car billed as Australia's first Cackle car running 90% nitro and producing between 2000 and 2500 hp. I took a start up video.... I was about 5 feet away from the pipes... the sound wave was physically shaking my chest and rumbling the ground..... talk about cackle.... Banshee alert

 I know Morrie Carlton quite well. a very quiet and unassuming guy he fixes stereos ....... I couldn't believe that he piloted this car in the 70's

..stupid log in system I like to stay on one id once I start posting on a thread but the log in system has other ideas..... apparently.

 

The secret to the eskyless foray is to knock a heap down before they get hot Richo...  so by the time they do get hot

 

....... you couldn't care less.... a queenslander taught me the ploy

 

The handbrake had her fancy grog chilled and got lost in the bush going up the hill... (a massive 300 metre walk through the

 

bush) so that's what chilled grog can do to you.

 

Had to go back to the road and walk up the hill that way...lmao......Has spent 2 days swollen up from 4 ticks she got while she was on bivouac

 

... me and the kids sent out the search party when we realized she was missing after we sat at the dinner table at 6 oclock for 3

 

minutes and there was no food on it.

 

The chat is Coffs Harbour has won the WRC for the next 4 years.......woooooohooooo...... Will know in a week or so. I am waiting

 

on some video emails a mate had a fancy tablet down there and got some awesome footage from around the second bridge

Great pictures, thankyou for sharing.

 

A few years ago we had the WRC at mur-bah. It co-incided with the Speed On The Tweed street racing. The greenies kicked up a stink about the rally cars, reckoned they'd scare the poor little fruitbats or something or other so it got moved down your way.

 

Love the rusty iron pics, I'll have to put that on my calender for next year. I have a soft spot for those old lanz bulldogs.
