	007-‘38 Buick Century stirs them up at Eastern Creek Raceway by John Neale Club member Ron Neale participating in a Regularity Trial at Eastern Creek Race way. Ron normally competes in a High performance Nissan, when he decided that he wanted a bit more of a challenge so he purchased a 1938 Century for the job. The only jobs he had to do on the Buick were convert it to 12 volt, tune the engine, fit a new set of radial tires, fit a bonnet strap and fit a catch tank on the engine breather, then of to the track for a couple of hot laps Ron said the car handled extremely well for what it is, and after a couple of laps he found that there was no need to change down to second gear for the corner as the enormous torque of the Century engine he got as good results leaving it in top gear and just point it at the corner and hang on. Ron is also a member of the Historic Sporting Car Club, and the popular choice of cars are things like MG’s, Jaguar’s and Austin Healey’s, so you can imagine the interest when a 1938 Buick rolled up and as Ron told the other Drivers at drivers briefing, “I have two ton of car with heaps of power and at this stage I don’t know it will stop so give me room”. So if you are interested in seeing a 1938 Buick on the limit the next meeting at Wakefield Park is sometime in November, I am sure Ron can let you know the Date. Posted 10/2003
