1960's Speedway Hot Rod
Had some bits and pieces laying around so I decided to build this "Vintage Aussie Speedway Hot Rod"
This '32 depicts a car in the W.A.H.R.A. (West. Aust. Hot Rod Association) raced at the Forrestfield & Wattlegrove Speedway tracks.
(Now long gone).
I'm in the process of scratch building a 70's "Super Modified". Will post some pics in "workshop" soon.
I would love to build more vintage speedway cars, but don't have the parts I need.
If any of you guys out there have any unwanted 30's to 50's body shells, parts, decals etc that could help my quest,
please let me know. I'm happy to pay and cover any postage costs. Thanks for looking in.

Re: 1960's Speedway Hot Rod
Thanks Al G. Yehhh very reminiscent of the 60's-70's where Mum would pack sandwiches and cordial, and you
were close enough to the track to get dust or mud in your face.
You were even allowed to get close up to the race cars in the pits!.
Dad always had to give the family car a wash when we got home! Man... they were the days!!!

Re: 1960's Speedway Hot Rod
It is sad... back then 50's - 70's they built their racecars out of whatever they could lay their hands on,
and raced with petrol donated by their local service station.
Now it's all "High Tech" engineering and "Rocket Science" with all the glamour of big $$$ sponsors.
Not the same anymore.
