Re: Rapids 80's photos
I still don’t run one but 904’s are less prone to exploding than 727’s.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Yes I remember it well, when we took the trans out it was in about 4 pieces. Steve was lucky not to have been badly hurt, front drum explosions can be proper nasty.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
I don’t know where Steve’s Roadrunner went, possibly it’s on a age related plate now and no doubt it’s been repainted.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
I don’t know who owned it then but I believe that’s the car Neil Watkins runs in Pro ET these days.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Tony was talking about un pro streeting it some years ago but still it sits. I don’t know if he’ll ever get around to it or the T/A Challenger.

Re: My very last restoration!!!
My parts guy told me a surprising amount of parts are made in the States these days, not what I expected to hear. The quality however is still as bad as we’ve become used to….

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Beavis Allen, he owned that Challenger for many years I think it pretty much fell apart on his drive. I still see him, runs a red Impala in NSS.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
If memory serves it was a blue Superbee Tim had stolen, it never resurfaced. This one was an A12 original butterscotch car previously owned by Steve Rawlings brought in by Tony Dickson. When Tim sold it it was fully restored back to original, not sure if it’s still in the UK. Hope that’s correct…

Re: Rapids 80's photos
I was offered that car in the ‘80’s for £850, later I also had access to a Hemi for £1500 luckily I didn’t buy either!

Re: Rapids 80's photos
The white Satellite is likely to be the car Tony Jarvis pro streeted in the ‘80’s and still owns. I don’t have a photo to hand to check the reg but it certainly ran in Production before he got it.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Mick’s Big Bopper still lives, currently owned by Ty Strevitt and running in NSS. Given the hands it’s been through over the years it’s a wonder it survived to be honest.

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Gold Duster had a 340 AAR engine from a well known car in it. That engine was in many cars over the years including 2 of mine. The Duster became Richard Eaton’s Quick Draw super gas car a few years later.
