Dig out your June/July 1985 issue of Street Machine and on the cover you'll see this car. I knew it looked familiar. Practically unchanged and with only 12,000 or so miles on the clock, it's still in brilliant condition.

Sure is great to see a piece of Aussie street machining history looking so good after all these years.

Pro Stockers at the 'Plex (and much, much more)

The opening round for the 2009/2010 ANDRA Drag Racing Series was a corker at the Kwinana Motorplex. Over 250 entries, including 13 Pro Stockers. There was a heap of other stuff there as well, so here's a few pics to get you warmed up for the new season.

And to finish off, an absolute ripper. Mark Jackson's FX has a two-barrel, six cylinder, nitrous-fed engine that he shifts through a four-speeed. Up, up and away!
