Issue 8 - Burdekin AutoFest
There was a bit of a panic for the organisers of the 2011 Burdekin Auto Festival in the days leading up to the event. The usual venue, the Ayr Showgrounds had suffered badly in the wet weather, and it was just not going to be appropriate to hold the car show there. Thankfully the good folk of ‘The Burdekin Race Club’ came to the rescue offering their grounds at Home Hill, they even rushed repairs that their facility needed thanks to Cyclone Yasi, so that the show could go on. -
Issue 7 - Gary Brett's 1989 Pontiac
When Gary ‘Buddah’ Brett’s LJ Torana crashed in a nasty top end accident at Willowbank in 2008, he was lucky to escape with his life. A tie rod end tore off in the traps, taking a wheel with it and sent the car into a roll that flipped the car over twelve times. Whilst the car was obviously a write off, Gary emerged with minor injuries, and rated the scariest part of the incident as when he had to face his wife Jody! It was a sad end for the car, as Gary had raced it for twelve years, won an ANDRA gold Christmas tree by winning the Australian Nationals at Willowbank in 2006, secured club and track championships at his Palmyra home track and almost cracked into the eights with a 9.03 at 140mph. When it was decided to return to the track with a new car, Buddah and his crew set out to build one that was going to make an impact!
