Just out of interest i recently saw Jim Hunter at Eastern Creek racing a WRX in the Australian Manufacturers Championship. Is that his suspension shop in Blacktown ? I love the head lights bet you could see for miles with them in BAJA.
Well i think my dads effort was bloody good enough for off road achievements.In 1983 my dad drove 1970 mk 1 escort with narrowed falcon suspension and xw motor to 1st in class 6 in the ARB Macleay 1000.What makes this achievement great is that dad built the car in the backyard on a shoe string budget and beat the big tyre sponsered vehicles,bf goodrich and goodyear.Dad has the trophy in the lounge 4 first in class but was only ever recongnised for 3rd in class in the year book and the media at the time. in my opinoin thats a great effort.
It's a small world, I was just taking to a family friend after my father inlaw passed away and got taking about cars. It turns out his name was John Bradley and he was responsible for building Jim Hunters Falcon as well as a huge number of other offroad racers,road and drag cars. He's retired now but building a 2000hp twin turbo infinity V8 drag car for a bit of fun. He even had a look at my class 2 and made a few good suggestions regarding seat belt mounts and suspension geometry.
