A bit more of the story on my Skyline
Its a genuine S54-BE2 (Triple Weber standard). Completely restored. Started racing the car in 1985.
many highlights , plenty of broken bits.
Highlight finishing 11 th o/Right at Sandown Touring Car race one year. Started 22 on grid in a realy wet race . track was streaming. great start a nd many cars fell of after an EH spun at turn 1. 16th by end of lap 2. could have finished 10 th o/r if i had the goulies to go under the mini at the top of the back straight on the last lap. I had him all set up but figured that behind him was better than hanging the car off the armco. so discretion won out. I'll never know if I could have beaten him.
Embarrasing the next day when had to start from 11 in the dry finished back in the high teen as all the cars with bulk HP passed me like i was standing still. By heck 427 galaxies can shake your car as they go past.
