Unfortunately after suffering another stroke 2 weeks ago I will not be restoring or finishing this car to race this coming season.
Only time will tell now if I can race again so have put it up for sale so someone else can rebuild and race it.

A bit off topic but was this the same young lady who dealt Dutchies ego a blow when he was racing overseas ... might have broken his arm or something like that  |

I don't think Lisa had started racing F1s when Dutchy went over in 1992. I think the first time I saw Lisa race would have been the 1993 season in an ex Lund car she shared with brother Dan. |

Cheers for that Pall Mall .... my memory is bad to say the least ... I would be interested to know if I was right about Dutchie's injury while he was over there.

Actually Lisa must have been racing in Brisca F1 before 1993 as she was out here racing at the beginning of 1993 and got 14th at the 240s. And checking my photos I have some of her in 1992 at least. I am pretty sure it was Jayne Bean who got Dutchy, and I think stopped his intended racing in the UK after the world final. I am sure I saw a mention in an article on Jayne Bean in Stockcar Magazine, will have to look through a few and find it. |

I think those torsion bar holes show the past history of the car and how it has evolved with new ideas, it's been around a long time and survived, it is going back into action soon 13b stockcar.
Has a fresh 221 (225) V8 now with good heads etc and it sounds pretty tough.

Not sure the choice of 'Sidewinder' for a handle is wise, given the history of the person who used that name in the past.  |

ok now everything has been cleared up can we get the thread back on track.
I remember this car well when "the goose" had it and have been looking forward to seeing the rebuild progress.
Hopefully we can get some pics and an update from the current owner

Thanks for putting photo's up Pall Mall, much appreciated.
Maybe of interest to others I have posted a video of the sidewinders 221 V8 being fired up, I have spent a lot of time on getting this engine running sweet and it sounds pretty tough, cant wait to get it rolling on the track at New Years meeting. The You Tube search is - Gordge Sidewinder 13b firing up Hot 221 V8 .
