When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The Sawtell & Burchill EK lives!

It was rebuilt after the rollover. Sadly Ted Burchill passed last year, good news is the car belongs to his son Ed.
Had a long chat with Laurie Sawtell, great guy for the record. The car has had extensive body modifications now, apparently looks a lot different.
cheers

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

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
