Ian Tate is a fabulous and very helpful guy, and he isnt too shabby with engines either.... he gave my Group Nc Cortina engine a freshen up for me back in the day and it never missed a beat, despite my attempts to ring its neck!
He also built many of the Holden teams engines in the ATCC from the late seventies, and that includes a few Bathurst winners.
@ Iain glad you got there ok and I knew you would love the track. Not much to not like about the place.
