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 />

gather, grab some take away<br />

burgers and popcorn then<br />

possibly leave early in the<br />

second movie, after living in<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 />

Keith Wilson’s 40 coupe.<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 />

somehow remain intact.. Check out the pictures instead. Editor.<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!
