DOZENS IN HOSPITAL AFTER BUSSELTON DRIVE-IN<br />
ROD RUN Malaga, <strong>March</strong> 2007.<br />
The casualty toll rises from self inflicted injuries caused by rodders<br />
who didn’t attend the Busselton Drive-in Rod Run, kicking themselves<br />
too hard, for missing WA’s premier over-night rod run. Lesser injuries<br />
have been received by some of the attending rodders for patting<br />
themselves on the back after such mobility disappeared from their<br />
shoulder blades years ago. No elbow injuries were reported. It seems<br />
that these joints are still very flexible and finely honed on some rodders.<br />

FROM THE EDITORS DEN<br />
Hello rodders, welcome back to the<br />
comfort zone. You won’t find anything<br />
in this edition to test your well being, so<br />
relax and enjoy it.<br />
I cannot complain about nothing to<br />
write about this month, just lack of time<br />
to do it. The Willys will be shelved for a 2-3 weeks this<br />
month while I create this master piece of literature and do<br />
some preparations for the Moora Easter Run. That means it<br />
will miss the <strong>March</strong> TAC check and along with that the<br />
Easter Run.....Bummer. That said, eight people at the<br />
Busselton run asked me where the Volvo was. I was<br />
wondering why in hell I was building the Willys afterall. It<br />
was only a short spell of wondering, though I bet you lookalike<br />
me-too fordies still probably don’t know the answer!<br />
This edition has some more contributions from Gibby<br />
from the SummSun Festival and the Igglesden Memory<br />
Tour . Thanks Neil.<br />
The big event since last <strong>Klaxon</strong> was the Busselton<br />
Drive In Run. Another fantastic weekend put together by<br />
the Mudflaps (sorry, the Radiators club) See inside for the<br />
scoop story.<br />
We all know how time slips away from us, don’t we<br />
Well I am starting to think that the club’s aim to race on the<br />
salt next year is going to be a midnight oil affair to make it.<br />
The team boss, Lars Salty Anderson is also currently pre-
occupied with the new Auto One store preparations,<br />
that also involve Les Baldy Ryan and Garry Cuboid<br />
Curnow. Needless to point out that everyone is busy these<br />
days. It will need a concerted effort to make the 2008<br />
speed week. Hands up again who wants to be in the team<br />
and support group. Talk to Lars.<br />
Easter is approaching too. The Moora Run is going to<br />
be very great. There is still a couple of rooms available at<br />
the WCSRC Moora head quarters, so if you have pussy<br />
footed about, you may still be in luck if you don’t want to<br />
camp. Call me now. 0400 1939 09. Leave a message if<br />
necessary.<br />
For those of you without Alzheimers not enjoying the “new”<br />
Moora information pages repeating in each <strong>Klaxon</strong> for the last<br />
few months, I promise to take them out next month and clear up<br />
more room for your contributions.<br />
Well what’s on after Easter Are we dreaming of heated<br />
sheds again as the temperatures drop and the rodding activities<br />
go quiet. There is nothing on the books until the Fathers Day<br />
show. I will have to make my own fun when the coupe hits the<br />
road! Don’t forget the Saturday morning rodders breakfast at the<br />
clubrooms. Spread the word about that one.<br />
Last word, the AGM will be here soon and we need a new<br />
secretary to replace Blossom. Is it your turn to do this easy job<br />
Cheers for now. Take care until next time.<br />
Extreme E<br />
PS. Don’t hang onto a metallic timing light incorrectly connected by<br />
Garry Curnow. When the engine starts, it creates an amazing arm<br />
action in time with Garry’s laughter while he pretends to be deaf to all<br />
calls of “TURN IT OFF!

PROOF OF GLOBAL WARMING!
Busselton Drive-in Run 2007<br />
The annual Busselton run held over the <strong>March</strong> long weekend<br />
is growing in stature and legendary status each year. The<br />
Radiators club have again put on a great run this year. It is all well<br />
organised. From the events, the catering and the balance between<br />
the organised and the relaxation, it<br />
was very good. The event central<br />
location at the Peppermint Park<br />
Caravan Park is in itself superb.<br />
Lush green shaded surroundings,<br />
clean facilities and excellent<br />
cabins. The event has come a<br />
long way over the last nine or so<br />
years, from the days when entrants<br />
would set up swags in the hosts<br />
back yards. Imagine billeting the<br />
numbers associated with 80<br />
entrant vehicles that attended this<br />
year.<br />
Top to bottom: Frenchies<br />
caravan towing ‘56, Nev’s 34 and<br />
Garry Curnows 32, all at the show<br />
and shine<br />
Friday night was pizza night for the<br />
early arrivals…. That was most of<br />
the entrants. Congratulations to<br />
the Radiators and their suppliers<br />
for supplying about 75 delicious<br />
pizzas at once and all piping hot.<br />
It was an evening of catchups and<br />
few drinks for many. Some<br />
enjoyed an early night in bed<br />
without the distractions of daily<br />
living at home. My evening was<br />
spent on the Ryan/ Anderson front<br />
verandah, with Cusso Dougie,<br />
Denise and the Curnows. After<br />
being supplied with a free sample<br />
bottle of Spanky Bannister scotch,
we had an interesting rendition of Nev’s trip in the USA, spoken in<br />
Spanish, with Rosemary’s translation done using the remnants of<br />
her schooldays French.<br />
Saturday was Show and Shine day at Dunsborough. Approx<br />
80 cars took a leisurely cruise south for the display. The display<br />
was in a fenced area besides the pub. Gate takings from the<br />
public are going to the<br />
Leukaemia Research<br />
Foundation, the charity to benefit<br />
from the weekend run.<br />
The town was buzzing with<br />
holidayers and rodders. There<br />
was a mini side show alley<br />
amusement area, charity stalls<br />
and of course the shops for<br />
coffee and a snack and other<br />
shops just to look at while killing some time. Some girls cannot<br />
just look at shops! Mrs Curnow challenged the roadster’s trunk<br />
holding capacity when packing for the trip home, with a couple of<br />
new pairs of shoes and matching ensembles. Mrs Andie also got<br />
into the shopping action. (Lars, she is out of control!)<br />
A lot of rodders ended up at the hotel for a pleasant lunch<br />
(surprise, surprise), before heading back to Busselton for some<br />
relaxation before the Drive-in<br />
later in the evening.<br />
We all know that going to a<br />
drive-in on a predetermined<br />
date leaves one wide open to<br />
an unknown movie selection.<br />
This year’s selection was on par<br />
with some of the previous years.<br />
It simply becomes a place to<br />

burgers and popcorn then<br />

hope during the “kid’s” movie
Busselton Drive-in Run 2007<br />
Above photos: a sample of the<br />
Dunsborough show and shine.<br />
the what was to<br />
follow would be<br />
better. Historically,<br />
the kid’s movies have<br />
been better than the<br />
main feature. This<br />
year was the same in<br />
my opinion. The main<br />
movie was a dizzy<br />
bitch chick flick! Sure<br />
enough, the rumble<br />
of starting V8s was<br />
heard within 15<br />
minutes of it<br />
commencing. Only a<br />
small contingent saw<br />
the whole thing<br />
through, including<br />
“Andie”, Judith<br />
Anderson’s husband.<br />
The Curnows won<br />
free tickets to the<br />
drive in that night, so<br />
Garry did what all<br />
sensible rodders did<br />
and left early without<br />
hesitation, without<br />
worrying about the<br />
normal sacrificial<br />
$20.00<br />
The post movie<br />
partying was<br />
subdued this year in<br />
the absence of Dave
Doggett and Big Al and the annual lamb chop burning<br />
exhibition.<br />
Sunday morning came around with Nu Breed doing the honours<br />
and cooking up a fine breakfast, again organised by the<br />
Radiators. Bacon, egg and<br />
snags, cereal juice and hot<br />
drinks. It was perfect just<br />
like previous years. No<br />
washing or cleaning up<br />
afterwards.<br />
After breakfast was the<br />
rod run, done in a time trial<br />
format over three stages.<br />
Every car received a sheet<br />
of instructions and left at<br />
one minute intervals. The<br />
instructions included some<br />
questions and a map to the<br />
destination for that stage.<br />
There were three different<br />
routes that sent the rods to<br />
different locations at the end<br />
of each stage, with everyone<br />
ending up at the same final<br />
destination for lunch at The<br />
Colonial Brewery near<br />
Margaret River.<br />
Denise and I were<br />
lucky() enough to bum a<br />
lift with BL1 and BL2 in the<br />
Bornlosermobile Galaxy. An<br />
eye opening experience for<br />
Denise to be in such<br />
amazing company. (She last<br />
saw BL1 chatting-up a<br />
mermaid statue at Mindarrie<br />
Keys tavern). Undoubtedly<br />
From top to bottom: Charlie<br />

Busselton Drive-in Run 2007<br />
it must have been her contribution to the<br />
team that rocketed them into equal third<br />
result for the event. Second last was the<br />
previous best result for any event over<br />
the last 10 years.<br />
One question was: Name eight ABBA<br />
songs!!!. We could think of four. We<br />
looked at Allan’s tape collection but alas<br />
no ABBA stuff for further clues.<br />
Our first stage stop was at the Flower<br />
Emporium. A shed full of clever art and<br />
craft and plenty of flowers. I still don’t<br />
know if the flowers were real or not after<br />
being sucked in to smell the plastic<br />
roses. Only the lack of scent aroused<br />
my suspicions. I didn’t go back to check<br />
the other species for plastic imposters.<br />
Needless to say, Andie’s wife parted<br />
with a few bucks here without buying<br />
Neville the neat model airplane that<br />
many of us thought was the best buy<br />
there.<br />
Our next stop was the Lavender<br />
Farm. The immaculate gardens<br />
displayed many different types of<br />
lavender plants. We took advantage of<br />
the coffee shop while<br />
BL1 took advantage of the location to<br />
buy half a dozen lavender pot plants for<br />
a job he had lined up in the coming<br />
week. He accidentally dropped the<br />
carton of pots outside the coffee shop<br />
on the verandah. Bit by bit he was<br />
displaying his champion BL qualities to<br />
the uninitiated like Denise. She thought
that MS and I were rude to him. She<br />
hasn’t been around rodding very long,<br />
is my only explanation for her silly<br />
notion. There was a smelly<br />
everything-lavender shop as well. Not<br />
my scene. Bl1 completed his act at<br />
this location by driving off and leaving<br />
his camera there.<br />
Fortunately, Archie took care of it for<br />
him.<br />
The last stop at the<br />
brewery for lunch.<br />
The location<br />
provided plenty of<br />
outdoor seating for<br />
the masses and a<br />
great lawned area to<br />
park all of the cars<br />
on.<br />
Most of us took our<br />
own lunch, although<br />
meals were<br />
available there. The<br />
Top to Bottom: Bl1 and BL2 ponder the lost camera and what beer<br />
to taste next. Facing this way , Vince and Jan Berriman, The<br />

girls could spend more on shopping that way.<br />
The other locations visited on the other<br />
routes were a coffee specialty spot and an<br />
olive farm. It was a great event and again<br />
congratulations to the organizers.<br />
Neville and Judith Anderson won the time<br />
trial that was based on correct times and<br />
most questions answered. . WCSRC,<br />
1 st and equal 3 rd . Well done.<br />
After lunch, enough time was allocated<br />
for people to cruise back to Busselton at<br />
their own leisure and to include any<br />
tourist activities if desired. The next<br />
event was the <strong>Hot</strong> Wheels racing. This<br />
event now attracts big boys and cheats<br />
from all over WA. The kids have to bully<br />
their way in to get a shot. This year AB<br />
T-B: Curnow perfecting a snagger. Lars the consummate<br />
professional totally out of his depth. The cooking team: Gary K,<br />
Clive, MS,Lars,Jan,Radiator ,Curnow, Brian, Allan, Baldy in hat
fronted with a stock looking delivery van loaded with several<br />
kilograms of lead ballast. Alas it failed due to insufficient<br />
cheating in the wheels and bearings development. The cheers<br />
and laughter from the racing gradually drew rodders from near<br />
and far, loaded with chairs and tables, in for some pre dinner<br />
drinks and snacks in the out doors atmosphere.<br />
As the time passed on WCSRC was summoned to cook<br />
the evening meal. This comprised of meat patties and snags, to<br />
go with the bread and salads prepared by other experts. Once<br />
again, all organised by the Radiators. We manned the four or<br />
five BBQs with spare hands to cut the snags, separate the<br />
patties, tender drinks and coach<br />
from the sidelines. The precision<br />
was unbelievable. Watching BL1<br />
cook with both hands while being<br />
fed from a stubby, was proof of our<br />
team work and application to the<br />
task. Nu-Breed thought that they<br />
had a promotional windfall by<br />
suppling us with their “Nu Breed”<br />
labelled aprons. People<br />
would think that Nu<br />
Breed was cooking<br />
again.<br />
Besides some aprons<br />
being worn inside out,<br />
they all got<br />
exceptionally greasy<br />
some how! After being<br />
shown the dangerous<br />
hot parts of a BBQ,<br />
Baldy gave Lars a BBQ<br />
Safety Certificate and<br />
blunt safety spatular<br />
Top: Dave Krause animates Allan and<br />
Brian. Bottom: MS burning snags<br />
while Lars plays with them.<br />
which enabled Neville<br />
to join in with the<br />
cooking. A new
Busselton Drive-in Run 2007<br />
experience for him, although he claims for Judy’s misconception<br />
with the intent to never do it again, that it was really Nev’s<br />
brother Mal in a Neville disguise.<br />
The cooking team was, Baldy Ryan (coach), Dave Krause(capt),<br />
Allan Rossi, Jan French, Frenchie, Curnow, Lars, Eric, MS, Gary<br />
King and CliveTitchner (the new guy with the 32 coupe). What a<br />
The big challenge! Packing the<br />
roadsters for home. Top: Gary and<br />
Helen fine tunimg the trunk space.<br />
Bottom :Looking down our leafy<br />
street, Gary tries to squeeze in<br />
Rosemary’s two new pairs of shoes.<br />
Culinary combo! After<br />
the eating, this is the<br />
night when tall tales are<br />
spun, only to be<br />
interrupted for a short<br />
while by the official<br />
presentations and<br />
impromptu charity raising<br />
auction.<br />
The patrons were also<br />
entertained by three of<br />
the wilder female set that<br />
removed their bras (tops<br />
left on) and cruised in the<br />
back of Phil Pavicic’s 34<br />
truck. I wonder the point<br />
of that exercise. They<br />
did however hang their<br />
under garments on the<br />
back of the truck and<br />
mirrors. They were<br />
nicked and hung on full<br />
display during the<br />
presentations. They were<br />
later auctioned raising<br />
about another 50 bucks<br />
for charity. The girls were<br />
given their bras back by<br />
the successful bidders.
Several other donated items were raffled by Barry Batten and<br />
his team of jumpy Nu-Breed spotters, raising a couple more<br />
hundred bucks for charity. It was a funny event.<br />
The smelly old port wino also made an appearance but<br />
disappeared smartly when the presentations began thus saving<br />
embarrassment to the newer rodders who hadn’t seen him<br />
before. He had some beautiful port this year, and lollies for all<br />
the women.<br />
The night calmed down with the 10.00pm noise curfew in<br />
consideration of other non-rodding patrons of the park. All<br />
except for a mixed bag of dudes, predominantly the new boys<br />
and gals on the block, the Cranksters, that kept a noisy rat bag<br />
enclave running in the back corner of the park for a while longer.<br />
In all , a great weekend. Great weather, great events, shit<br />
movies, spy vs spy inter-club rivalry, great people, friendship and<br />
cars.<br />
The growing presence of the Cranksters, now that they are<br />
mature enough to have cars, not just push bikes, has added<br />
another lively aspect to rodding in WA. They were very present<br />
on the weekend. Especially some of the girls. Good on them.<br />
The solid combination of the Radiators’ members all working<br />
behind Tony Brittain and Glen Armstrong and his wife was<br />
excellent.Thanks Radiators<br />

SummerSun Sunday at Rockingham<br />
On the closing Sunday of Summersun, at the finale in Rockingham, I<br />
think there was a dance contest on.<br />
Some streets were blocked and stalls were along the beach parkland.<br />
The blocked streets were available for rods and retros to park along<br />
creating an impromptu show and shine for pedestrians.<br />
Gibby didn’t leave much info with these photos so I don’t think I should<br />
try to make up this story any further. My professional standards must<br />

Nostalgia Drags<br />
The Nostalgia drags at Quit Motorplex Dragway were another<br />
success. After some early morning showers, the day<br />
surrendered perfect conditions for drag racing.<br />
Late withdrawals from Gibby due to lack of time to prep<br />
the big Pontiac with new carburetion, and of Garry Curnow<br />
because of a dodgy push rod left, it to Nev Anderson in his 34<br />
coupe and Gary King in his A model roadster to represent the<br />
club in competition.<br />
At the time of writing, no times were received from Gary<br />
however I can report that he did break out of his time bracket<br />
and thus bowed out of competition early. Lars posted consistent<br />
11.8s during trials but left the competition early by running<br />
quicker at 11.6 seconds in the first round..<br />
The following pictures tell as much as I have been told<br />
from here on. So have a sticky beak.<br />
I can report that while I was at a nephew’s 21st (doing “the<br />
right thing”), my daughter Wizzie (nephew’s cousin) was with<br />
my hot rod mates at the drags having a ball and cruising in AB’s<br />
roadster. How in hell that come about Extreme E.<br />
Dom squeezed in one run before<br />
leaving to attend another function

TECHNOLOGY NEWS. "Apple Computer announced today<br />
that it has developed a computer chip that can store and play<br />
music in women's breast implants. The iBreast will cost $499 or<br />
$599 depending on size. This is considered to be a major<br />
breakthrough because women are always complaining about men<br />
staring at their breasts and not listening to them."<br />
Competition News.<br />
Lake Gairdner Speed Week<br />
The team for the Club’s assault on Lake Gairdner in<br />
2008, will have its first meeting soon. If you are interested<br />
in the project contact Lars or Extreme E now so we know<br />
who to call.<br />
The meeting will formulate the type of vehicle and class<br />
to race in and document what we have for the project and<br />
what we need, for both the race car and the backup logistics.<br />
The team will need a minimum of 6 to go to the lake, but<br />
all members are invited to work on , or donate to the project.<br />
There is only 11 months to go!<br />
Nostalgia Drags.<br />
Gary King and Nev Anderson represented WCSRC at<br />
the drags. Unfortunately they both bowed out early by<br />
breaking out of their time brackets. Nev’s best time of the<br />
day was 11.6 No times have been received for Gary at the<br />
time of printing. Judy may be in for a some more Jewellery<br />
as Nev needed to replace a damaged diff after the drags!<br />
Busselton Time Trial.<br />
The time trial covering about 100 kms over three<br />
stages, held at the Busselton run, was won by Nev and<br />
Judy Anderson in their 34 coupe.<br />
Equal third place was won by Allan Rossi in his Galaxy,<br />
with MS, Extreme E and Denise as navigators.<br />
A wonderful turn around in form for this team!<br />
Well done West Coast!
