those blokes who threw those early Holdens around had balls I reckon.......every old shitter Ive ever driven was a handful at even 80km/h....let alone on a track, wheel to wheel...or in this case on two wheels!

Hi
There's an historic photo of Norm Beechey in an inverted FX in mid air at Calder in the early '60s. Anybody got a copy to post?
Cheers
Bazza

You want crazy old holdens?
I threw this up on YouTube earlier this year, it's lots of footage my father and friends took in tassie back in the day. Out of control humpies were everywhere!

Thanks Ian

That would be my father Kerry in the Paramount Ford special (292 Y block powered), dad used to enter every event he was allowed, they let him enter open wheel races if he removed the lift off front hahaha!
