HPDC Car #57 History (Warning, contains images)

pete60 · 22 Jul 2005, 07:24 (Ref:1360606)

I went up to QR this morning and watched the HPDC guys practice.

Dean Savage is running a white/red Commodore #57, sponsored by Jim Beam and JPS Automotive.

Anyone know this car's history? It doesn't have a Larry bar so I am guessing it's been around a while.

Its an ex-IMS chassis.... I believe the Adelaide wallbanger (with Mr Full at the wheel) of a couple of seasons ago

Spunky · 22 Jul 2005, 09:54 (Ref:1360680)

No it is the car from Matthew White that Wanless drove last year.

**GTRMagic** · 22 Jul 2005, 10:19 (Ref:1360687)

I saw that under a dust sheet at Eastern Creek 2 weeks ago while the Jim Beam Racing car was on the track... unless things have changed between rounds???

This is the ex Perkins ex White Machine.

GTR I think Bondy is on the money. The White VX roll cage is identical with the Savage machine....the IMS car has a silver cage, with the Larry bar.

Here she is.... wherever it came from...

... while I should have lifted that dustcover and taken a peek as to what was underneath it properly

Spunky · 25 Jul 2005, 02:48 (Ref:1362471)

Things have not changed between rounds, it is not the Imrie car it is like others have said the ex White car that Wanless drove last year.

it is the ex Matthew White car, I also saw the car under the car cover and thought it was an AU from where i was standing

It appears that the car under the dustcover has been mentioned in certain circles as being the ex-Thexton, ex-Paragon, ex-PHR AU Falcon... purchased by Mr White when Britek purchased the Thexalot BA....

bondy_racing · 28 Jul 2005, 03:02 (Ref:1365200)

the ex Paragon AU has been de-registered as a v8supercar.

pete60 · 28 Jul 2005, 10:23 (Ref:1365398)

To digress slightly, anyone know the origin of the VT/VX Ray Ayton is running in the TCC? Is it ex Imrie?

**GTRMagic** · 28 Jul 2005, 10:30 (Ref:1365403)

Here it is (Now Resized and sourced from elsewhere)

Cmon GTR think about the dial -uppers
Please resize your image (as per the FAQ's)

**GTRMagic** · 28 Jul 2005, 10:45 (Ref:1365420)

I am a dial-upper also..... and can see it without a problem...

mixxer · 28 Jul 2005, 10:50 (Ref:1365425)

I dont have a fast internet connection either... I will adjust the thread title as a warning

That VX commodore is the first car that IMS built in-house and was debuted in 2000. Then sold to Clyde Lawrence and now owned and driven in the TCC by Ray Ayton.

ff s conscience · 28 Jul 2005, 11:58 (Ref:1365496)

Well I've got a whizz bang broad band helluva kunnova thing, and the whole ten tenths site is the slowest thing I ever look at by miles, there has to be something wrong with it. I pity the dial uppers!!

Also, GTR or anyone that knows... so what is the story with the ex PHR/Bud racing Falcon... who owned it after Cam Mclean, and where is it now, and what has happened during it's life.

Thanks Bondy. I assume IMS still have the second car they built, as re-arranged by Mr Full a few years ago.

that is the one that has been for sale in the mags, AFAIK it has not been sold.
