Tony
Preston - Long time Drag Racer (raced an Anglia when you
could buy them
new!)
- Gave up racing his Chevy powered Altered “Reality” to resume drinking,
smoking and ...reality? Crewed on - “Jean’s T” & John Everett’s Pro
Mod Camaro, to name but a few.
Richard
Harker - Although never an active racer Richard has been
around Drag Racing since Melbourne was nothing more than a WW2 Airfield
(?). Richard has crewed on many bracket and Super Gas cars - a plumber
by trade - very handy when racing at Santa Pod!
J.L.
Deuchar - Little known Alcohol racer who started in Street
with a 16 sec. Jensen-Healey - saw the light and became a founder member
of the infamous “Halifax Mopar Men” with a self built 12 sec 1970 440
Challenger. After a brief encounter with Bracket Racing decided handicap
racing sucked - returned from the States with a Rodeck powered TAD -
ran pretty good - until major mechanical carnage and weight breaks forced
retirement. After watching Coronation Street for two years something
had to be done - another trip to the States - returned with a Hemi powered
TAD........
