SHARNI & SUSAN ...the "WOOSHKA" album

Easter '63 or '64 on the Delatite Arm of Lake Eildon with a very young Ivor on the left beside the magnificent "SHARNI", a beautiful Everingham powered by a Ford Y block V8. Not much info on the lovely "SUSAN" pictured other than that she was hand built solely by one man in Melbourne ...What a great photo, Thanks Iv.

WEEKEND @ CASEY'S

Always good to catch up with mates and give the boats a run ...even if it was the middle of winter.

"SUPA TORQUE" ...GT's ALBUM

He's done it again! Hinted a while back that Grant was busy with yet another Aussie legend ...get a load of this monster!! Amazing effort champ ......Here's the lowdown:

" -Owned, built, and refined by John Millhouse in the mid 70's sporting a high rpm Dart headed 302 Chev with twin 660 centre squirts. 8% Haines & Hellyer box tucked right up under the deck for a reduced shaft angle along with lots of other hand crafted and cross drilled components that well proceeded their time.
- John won many races with the boat once he got it handling correctly before selling it to the late John Dawson who added his own unique touch to the boat with some stripes on the side, a different scoop, re-writing the name and painting the top of the boat with the QLD flag etc. as you see it today.
-Mr. Dawson also won many races with this boat and always presented her in pristine detail as done with everything he owned.
- I purchased the boat from Paul Beaton who also successfully campaigned the boat as "APEX FLOORS" and "SCI FLEET" before retiring the boat under his house in 1988 according to the rego label allowing mechanic and close friend, Randall Haswell, to campaign the engine in a race car (I was very fortunate to purchase this also as a bonus!)
- When I saw it advertised I could not allow the chance of it falling into the wrong hands who might molester such an old survivor with rich racing history and golden memories.
- I hope others might enjoy seeing it too, and if they have any stories etc. please share.
Regards
Grant "
