he plans on doing a local tri series set up by the whyalla track.
its takes in whyalla, mildura and portland vic.... all 1/8th mile tracks.
due to bob jane getting his knickers in a knot, adelaide where he lives doesnt have an opperating 1/4mile track,indeed nor does the rest of s.a.
but jack also plans on heading up to alice springs with a few whyalla racers who make the trek north to run on their 1/4 track
the s.a. federal goverment has so far resisted all attempts to build a 1/4 track in the adelaide area,was on the news the other night, that drag strips increase hoon behavior.... YEAH RIGHT.....
but there is hope....there is a propsed track in the pipeworks for pt augusta, being built by a private person and a new club has been formed to raise funds.
the prime mover in the project is a hell of a nice bloke, who loves his racing.
he sponsers our local 1/8th track here in whyalla,and has even gone so far as to pay out of his own money, to have our track V.H.T traction counded (ed) just so he can run his car in a straight line.
and it seems to have worked as before he couldnt keep it in a straight line... but now runs true and straight.
he is hoping to break the track record with the car....
the car in question???
of course.... a 59 vette.
