Vintage Speedway show @ Rocklea, April 2013.

Good line up of mid 70s/80s cars, with VWs, Sescos, etc.
Cappy Woods restored racer ...beautiful red paint!
Typical OFFY that you saw in the 50s and 60s midgets.
The bigger OFFY, this was in a 1938 midget....or maybe they just called them dirt track cars back then?
How about the Chevy V8 cut down to a 4 cylinder.
Plenty of SOLOS there, from all eras of speedway.



Old style Super Modifieds are'nt seen very much...they must have all gone to the tip.
These guys are as bad as hot rodders, trying to find parts to restore there cars...lol.
Here is the 1938 racer....it was a cool car...transverse front and rear...it drove around the grounds...starts without a push......even has reverse!

Who remembers the old flattie powered airport tug, that they used at the EKKA for decades for push starting....great that someone even decided to keep and restore this .
