Arial photo of the entrants at the first Nats at W.W. A whole 35 entries, the next year jumped to 50.
Bernie, here's the only shot of Mike Moore's Rat Cobra I had.
On a run down the runway the body work (one layer of glass? kevlar? )tore apart at high speed and hit him in the arm and helmet. very lucky not to be worse. As Mrs Flatchat said, the car was finished one night at the motel and the body was stored in his room. He also got a talking to by the law for testing it in the back streets.
Mike held the top speed record for some years at 240k's set at the first W.W with his maroon RMC
And of course the boys in blue coudn't help themselves
Bernie, I know the Vic. events you are refering to, but can't remember what they called them, and also didn't attend. Reptyl will know.
