The Scutcher's Hotrod Grasstrack Races Got some cool pics you'd like to share?  mail me.  Back to Jim's scrapbook index page

This series of photos were taken at the wild grasstrack races hosted by the Scutchers. Having fun in Hot Rods - Isn't that what it's all about?  Jack's T at full tilt. Whitewalls? Blackwalls? Just use what yer got. Stinger's perfectly proportioned (to my mind) A-V8 at speed on the grass. Ready Steady Go! '23 T vs. '32 in the tug o'war. Jack hadn't reckoned on the '32 being fitted with spade lugs instead of rear tyres. The ensuing spectacle was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed. Who's that fat bastard on the right? Damn! that's me! See what I mean? Spade lugs resulted in monster rooster tails of dirt and grass,  showering the unlucky opponent (read loser) in crap.  Ah yes, a new event, pallet racing.  ooh me arse! Here's a new one, steal Jim's pickup, lash on a settee, set 'er running  then dive off the back onto the sofa. Er, guess they should'a had a nominated driver before they all dived off.  Bloke on right contemplates how to tackle the runaway truck. YeeeHaaaah! Jim's A pickup in monster slide.. resulting in..... Whoops! overdone it again!  Er, and again. Same hedge, another car. I took these two shots myself but they're from the same event so I've spliced 'em in here-Mart Note guy in white T shirt straightening steering on T after the above mishap. Note full fendered '32 at speed on the 'track'. --ooOoo-- Thanks, Jim, for sharing these pics from what has to be the best fun event I've ever attended. ..Mart
