No it is an ex-Haddad car though. It was bought as a roller by a friend. He's fitted an engine and just going out to see what it can do. I'm pretty sure it's only 308ci.

No not from a Darren. The cars been owned by Haddad and another bloke (Daniel). Haddad's owned the car on more than one occasion I'm told. The cars been around for many years. I remember watching it run when I was a lot younger. According to George Haddad the cars ran 9.80 or 9.90's. It's pretty well for the minimalist setup it has.

JoesAu · 22-02-2007, 07:56 PM

yeah i mite there calling thunderstorms now so i dont know

brenx · 24-02-2007, 01:16 AM

HG ran 12.1's @ 110-112mph which is pretty impressive. The 308 sounded alive unlike a few of the other poor excuses of old Holden V8's there.

How did the Fords go? Was anyone from the forums racing?

brenx · 24-02-2007, 10:18 AM

Don't know. There was only three people I knew there running a Ford. It was the CHI engine'd XW running 10.1@133mph (Frank). John's Nogas cortina was running 10.0->10.3 and Marks blue XW ran 10.7->11.1 .

The other people I know we driving VE commodores (14's), the purple International truck (low 11's) and a couple of other non-fords.
