Gary's Picnic Shakey photos

Post by Gas for GOSH »

My first visit to Shakey...now I see what I've been missing. Great atmosphere, good selection of cars, nice to chat to a few people, got a couple of runs in Saturday before full lanes and fluid drops set in. Happy with 14.6 @ 97....would have liked the ton but not to be.

I'll do a full write up in next Connected but here's just a few of the pics for now.

Had a chat with Doug Harwood who now owns and runs what was Rumblefish

Some nice shots there! I did have a look at the orange & black Barracuda, it would appear to have been a rusty car thats had some serious metalwork hackery going on around the back. It might have been well repaired but I did wonder if there was a ton of filler under that paint job.
