You HQ fanatics will love this!

I wonder if any of these cars are still around?
I remember these guys at the Sydney Royal Easter Show when I was a kid. For me it was the highlight of the Royal Easter Show.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Cheers
Nick.

I believe the current drivers are now driving hilux's. Saw them at the Sydney Easter show. All noise and while there is some degree of skill, it is a poor show compared to the holden days. Had one of the utes over on 2 wheels for half the arena. I also loved the old holden days.

I found this in the comments below the video. Bit of an update from one of the drivers' sons.:

Man this is awesome. Mike Chapman is my Dad. I can't wait to show him this old footage. He is#65279; in the orange car! Sadly Errol Bognuda passed away a few years ago. I was 5 when i used to go to the ekka and watch him...hardly remember! I sent this to my sisters who watched him from 7-8 years old until they were 15-16. they watched nearly every show in brisbane and never got bored watching. Mike is currently 73 years old and still lives in brisbane and is at the ekka today.
