Australia Nostalgia Racers Drags Mildura 2018<\/a><\/div>\n <\/span>We dug Bill Taylor’s ’36 Ford dubbed Short Fuse. Running in Nostalgia Eliminator, the big-block Chev-powered beast has run a best of 11.7@118mph.<\/p>\n <\/span>Wyld Willy was another newcomer to Nostalgia Eliminator, powered by a gassed Holden V8 that drove it into the 11-second bracket.<\/p>\n <\/span>Bruce Cole’s Studebaker Lark was also new to Nostalgia Eliminator, but that didn’t stop him picking up the runner-up spot first time out! The Lark is still Stude-powered, too.<\/p>\n <\/span>There were a few Drag Challenge Weekend cars out racing, including Lee Hill’s killer XY Fairmont, running 11s with a standard-stroke 302. And our 235 Aspirated runner-up, Shane Locke, took out the Street Machine class in his Chev LUV. Woo!<\/p>\n <\/span>How tough is this? Graham Miller’s EHMAD packs an 8\/71-blown small-block and runs low 10s!<\/p>\n <\/button><\/section>\nYour humble author also had a great meeting, breaking into the 11-second zone for the first time with an 11.735-second pass behind the wheel of Rob Brown’s Barbara Ann FX Holden. Thanks to Rob, Dan Hiscox and the rest of the team!<\/p>\n
