Has any one got facts and history of this car.
Fact or fiction from what i've been told it is a Kruiger chassis,vintage?,Triumph Hearld body and Willie has been 1N.Z. in it?.
Murray Phillps from Hawera is his engineer/sponsor and thought outside the square and came up with the reverse rotating motor which is reputed to help with power/traction out of corners.Don't know if this is current power plant.
Also rumoured that Willie retired for a while and Roydon .C. put a Subaru turbo power plant in it which expired on dyno and never hit the track. Willie won 1st race of AK Dirt cup 09 by half a lap,mechanical problems 2nd race D.N.S. and taken out 3rd heat. It sounds like an old tech ,heavy tank but with good old no 8 wire fix it and massive driving skills shows hi tech/money machines up. Is he the modified rank version of Blondie.C. or is it just the Naki way?. Hope some one can fill in with fact version of this car.
