Now that was cool! What a mix of cars and a wonderful track ... gotta love the sound of the racing 289 screaming up the mountain. The bit on the fuel injection was neat, those input stacks look great. Thanks!

Steve,

I might be all wrong here, but it's my understanding that these 'Vintage' cars have 'Modern' drive lines and other improvements ...

The Biante Touring Car Masters immediately struck a winning formula, with its mix of classic hero cars and modern improvements, such as disc brakes, dry-sumped engines and radial tyres, producing intense, dynamic racing right from the outset ...

Showcasing a selection of immaculately prepared touring cars of the pre-1974 era, the Biante Touring Car Masters boasts some of the sport's most iconic muscle cars from Falcon GT's, BOSS Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chrysler Chargers and Holden Monaros to the giant-toppling Holden Toranas and nimble Porsche 911 RS's.

So I believe that the discussion of fuel injection highlighted during the race is referring to the vintage cars that were racing ... perhaps some of our Cobra buddies from Down Under can elaborate?
