CAT XLS runner/racer 09'

[BORMAC]

Recently at St Ives/Sydney a vintage race meeting was due to take place to commemorate 20 years since the worlds were held here and the last chance to run on the same track used back then but soon to be redisgned. The weather had other ideas though. Despite the poor weather leading into the weekend of the event we weren't to let this beat us. Sure the meeting was cancelled but we ended up running anyway.
Just thought i'd share some pics of my Cat XLS in action.

Lovin it. Did you run your works dogfighter??? If not at least you ran the 'infamous' 2:2 yokomo wheels.

Just like racing over here. You now know why the undertray was invented in the UK

I leant my Dog Fighter to M Harlow, a friend of mine. Used to race one back in the late 80's and early 90's so how could i not give him a shot with it-
The Cat certainly was a great car to drive in these conditions and not alot of mud got past the undertray

Those xls shots look sweet, bet it was superb in those conditions (or any come to think of it!!)
Good on you for actually racing it in the wet

I was watching a couple of zx5's running around at my local club last night, thinking, they are just a modern evolution of the mid. I like the look of the zx5.
