The White FE sedan was also in the 13's with V8. The EJ had a turbo 6 and was running 12.4's. Here is a highlights video currently doing the rounds.

Title: Re: Nostalgia Drags on sunday 23 April Post by: fccool59 on May 18, 2006, 09:13:43 AM Any one notice the commentator was saying that EJ with a red 6 had a small block chev in it. I guess if they dont know they just make stuff up like magazines and newspapers.
Also with the thousands of songs written about hot rods and drag racing they seemed to stick to hippy music, Someone requested jan & dean, (for those that dont know this band mainly wrote songs about muscle cars, surfing and drag racing) The commentators kind of made fun of his request, maybe the commentators forgot they were at the nostalgia drags and thought they were at woodstock smoking joints in their flower painte d kombi. |
