CHEETAHS hot rod club..been going over 50 years!

You have to admit....the CHEETAHS club has been the one club where a lot of the original members are still into rods, and have been since the early 1960s, this club has been involved with every twist and turn of rodding and drag racing, and following is just a small selection of the cars that have been involved for over 50 years....For any of you that do FACEBOOK, I have created club pages for S.E.Qld., and over time, for our history sake, I will include more pictures of our past..
