Hi

We used to go to the Riverside drags from Geelong - had to drive onto the ferry at Williamstown (pre Westgate Bridge) There's some great memories in those old pictures. I remember the wheel standing Volkswagen and most of the other cars in magazine articles but where is the FX Holden with the V!2 Rolls Royce Merlin engine from a Lancaster bomber? What a beast that was.

Hi LC69GTR

I don't have any pics (used to). If I recall it would have been around 65/66 and was around the same time as Satisfaction (another FX) and the wheelstanding Volksy. The Merlin powered car may have only been at a few meetings because it had a lot of clutch issues.
