    Allow me to throw a friendly back at ya because the model name of the Giacottolo car was indeed 'Group B'

    This assertion is also questionable, in that how could the late Mr Wilkes have been trying to set the Eastern Creek lap record ... while on the drag strip?

    They enterd the drag strip with a run off going in the oposite direction to what we are used to in an attempt to break the speed record on the track (not lap my bad and most certianly not drag either ) he was probably dismayed to find the brakes where not up to the task but he hasnt been much for a comment since then incident

    As an aside its a real pity Wilkes' excellent 'twinturbov8' site was allowed to lapse, there was so much great stuff in there
