Among other things, the Gates mob had a couple of their sprintcars there and they took this one out on the trotting track and fired it up. What an incredible amount of horsepower they put down on relatively loose surfaces.
This must be the spare car as it had no engine in it. I took this photo to show the attention to detail in chassis construction compared to what I remember years ago. Not that long ago Port Adelaide Constructions had their fabrication facility in Kapunda where the fodder store now is.
This is the other one complete with engine and everything else.
.....and this is Carter and Carter (Golden Guitar winners at Tamworth) entertaining a packed grandstand.
I was mainly there to help promote the upcoming Kapunda community shed (to be called "The Shed") but did manage to get around a bit.
