Bought a car off Lino Ruggieri yesterday. Took a while to work out who he was until he mentioned he used to race drag bikes. For those of you that used to hang around AIR in the late 80's / early 90's, he raced a black GSX Suzuki that used to spend most of it's time on the limiter. He still has the bike in his shed. We spent a few hours talking about the drags at AIR and his battles with the Henry Brothers and Sam Scerri.
Lino used to run a Pizza bar on Regency Rd and quite often had the black Suzi parked out the front. |

Always good seeing this thread resurrected!
Hey homegrown, that pic above is from about the time I was racing at AIR, you don't have any shots of my old black coupe do you?

Sorry I would know if I had yours, yours had some really skinny pizza cutters. Got few photos of some other Black XB coupes with Weldies which I'll put up just from random spotting on the streets.
If I ever get the chance to go through my Dads collection though he would have hundreds to a thousand photos of the drags through the 80s 90s.

I saw that Capri (Reads/Rebel)roll over at the Mildura track in Easter 2008, don't know if it was rebuilt.

Hi Mr BB my mate has that night on a DVD with the Capri hitting the wall Hard.
Did your GT take out the Street Machine Shoot out that night?
