any one go to the Nostalgia Drags at calder today?

It was a great day and plenty of great cars, old hotrods, new style hotrods, street machines, drag cars, and even the original shaker funny car, australias first funny car.

Rocked up in my pursuit expecting to park outside and they ask "you here for the show and shine?" so i get to park inside, but could not bring myself to park with all the rodders and devalue their rides, so at least got to park in the pits

It's is an original funny car which has been fully restored, this is the first time in many decades it has seen a track, well that's what the announcers were saying.

Ratter it was at Calder last Friday.It didn't do a full pass that night either.It looks like the chassis is way too stiff.
