The old days
Bernie, some more nostalgia from the early days,
West Wyalong 1 aerial shot - a whopping 35 cobra's entered.
George Vidovic's Python in back row 3rd from left (as viewed) Mike Moore in back row 5th from left.
Kiwi Dale Benge's blown 302 Arntz. He got booked at Goulburn one year on the way home for 'obscured vision'

Bloody excellent photos fellas!!!
Pictures and posts like this is why I 'TROLL' this site. Pictures of old school hardcore Cobras with big blowers hangin out of hoods & stories of 'Satans' Cobra make the hairs on my neck stand on end.
That's why I have a COBRA!!
F*$K YEah keep them coming!!!!

He took little Todd - he was about 12 at the time - for a run down the airstrip. He nearly lifted the wheels of the track.
The blower sticking out was awesome.
I drove Mikes car at the Mangalore airfield in the early days.
I ended up going between the landing lights after giving it to much out of a corner. I had cuts all over my legs and arms from the gravel/stones - no floor.
Remember running electrical tape around my left arm to prevent the suit getting caught in the tailshaft uni.. 
We even drove it around the streets...

Mmmm 'Old Days"..
Yes remember setting the photo up... 
A lot of the early participants don't head up to the Shelby Fest of Nationals now.
Perhaps the club should follow a few up. Club reunion..

When dad got Mikes burgundy car it had the front chopped off - Rob Baker put it back together and they put a Torana front end in it that was extremely light in comparison to the original Jag...
Dad didn't buy the motor till much later - Mike played around with the one piece body and the 351 Windsor, soon after he went Gen3 mad with the X7... that was when he sold the motor to dad.

Chassis went to the UK to Mikes Brother.

Mining Tax
Just wondering what the general thoughts on this mining tax are? I know that living in a mining town, the tax is really biting hard as my employer is looking at retrenchments as the mines are putting a hold on development.As people know no development no confidence to spend money as people are holding on to their money until things are finalized with the goverment. So is it affecting others as well?

I agree - we don't need a mining tax or even a government for that matter. Let the mining companies run the country!

Mmm just read that the PM has backed off and will only pass on a 1% reduction in payroll tax to us employers as she has re done the mining tax.
Whoa with 200 staff I can retire on the 1% saving the mining tax passes onto us in savings..
Not complaining but in business we have over 3% Workcover, 5.5% payroll and soon to be 10% super..
.... ..whoa Julia I'm excited now we have unpaid maternity as well to pick the costs up on.
The real deal on unpaid maternity is employers are picking up anything above the basic wage and the super, workcover and payroll tax etc.
Guess who picks up the costs - the customers that who..
