 This is another MIA thats now MIA!!! Had a great response to it too. Pallmall and co will no doubt repost when time allows but till then have a look at Page 4 of MIA on the "Heroes of HB Past" Thread. Paul is what Speedway is all about ,put the hard yards in and the rewards follow!!!

I'll second that autopete55 Heres one of superfords rippers that i copied thanks to the relly in the background.  And of course because it was a pretty cool car that Paul had when he captained the NZ team. |

Last seen on a truck heading to scrap yard.
I cut cage off to replace and chassis sprung.
More bends than the kaikoura track.
The downfalls of laminated I beam bumpers
and years of abuse.

Classic Paul demanser bumpers, check out the size of the beasts. HOw did the car go for you - before the bend obviously! Any gossip about Blenheim stockcars for next season? I see another couple have made there way to Nelson.  |

I really enjoyed that car once i sorted out some handling issues.
I got hold of Chris Ash he told me to run 7 to 10 inches of stagger I couldnt believe it but it worked. Alot was learnt from that car but you really felt the hits. No major gossip from Blenheim just alot of off season rebuilds after Kaikoura of course. Good to see Nelson getting into it now might have to do more trips over the hill next season.

The new beast certianly seemed to go well, was impressed with the hit on Mcpherson at the SI's  How many guys are heading to Kaikoura? |
