I see that there is a heap of photo's but none of Jason's (driven by John) Turbo EL engine power XE from Preston Auto and Diff's. That thing was a real beast.

not sure whether the fullboost reporter screwed up? I'm pretty sure Jasons turbo XE was trailered. I know it was definately trailered out : I did spot a part from it when I visited a workshop yesterday.

Nope it was driven there. I saw it come in. Unless it was taken off the trailer just outside on the freeway?
