Image Magick is installed and appears to be working. Here is an image of the Monaro on a pass at US131 Motorsports Park in Martin Michigan.
This picture was taken in 2004 and I can tell by the aluminum radiator that I was running the 427 with a Dominator carb on racing gas. Later I tried Rons Flying Toilet alcohol injection and ran a best time of 10.79 @ 120mph until an intake valve dropped and destroyed the motor. That motor was replaced by a 452ci with a home-built alcohol injection system, best time 10.31 @ 125 mph. This proved to be too much for the stock chassis factory 4-link as the car was all over the track. Which brings me to my current project, the back-half ladderbar rear frame!
The US home for Holdens!
I am buying anything Holden in the US, email me if you have something to sell.
This is my current collection of Aussie Holdens. From left to right: 1973 HQ Monaro GTS, 1976 LX Torana Hatchback, 1973 HQ Ute.
Can't wait to get started on the back half. Once I start cutting there is no going back!
Hey! Cool to see the Aussie flag flown on US strips!
Sweet looking Holdens, man.
Wes,
We're gobsmacked to see such a fine piece of Aussie engineering taking it to American drag strips. We'd love to see more of both the Monaro and the Torana, and maybe organise a feature shoot for Xtreme Holdens Magazine?
