FB/EK Race Cars

Post by Thommo »

This might be a very short thread, but

Have you got any pics of FB/EK Race Cars.
Lets see them.

Image
This is Peter Beardmore's Low 10sec Comp Car
pictured at Gladstones Benaraby Raceway in march 1994.

Sam Rhodes made the cover of Dragster Australia in 2003
with his high flying 9sec Super Sedan at Kwinana WA

Image


Best of all though, the Burchill & Sawtell Wild Bunch EK made the cover
and centerspread of Dragster Australia Nov 1993.

Unfortunatly the Burchill & Sawtell EK was lost to drag racing after barrel rolling
at a 1996 event at Gladstone.

Cheers
Jeff

yeah know sam well the car is now running in the high 8s tell you some amazing facts about that car it still runs full interior including stereo / speakers in the parcel shelf runs all the origanal glass and the only fiberglass bits on the car are the bonnet and the boot lid so considering the car could shed some 100kgs it would be good for low 8s and on top of that he still drives it on the streets ocasionally
