1996 - 1997 - ALICE SPRINGS SPEEDWAY Street Sedan QUEST.
Mateship is one thing the Bunbury Car Club is renowned for, prior to the 1996 - 1997 Australian Street Sedan Championship, a group of members got together with an idea of transporting a bunch of cars to the centre of Australia to bring home the Australian Championship trophy to Bunbury.
The first problem these drivers faced was a logistics problem, how could we get all these cars to Alice Springs at a reasonable cost, Thats were a truckie out of Perth came to the rescue, Errol Moore came up with this wild idea of transporting all the cars on his truck, what do you mean, they wont fit, they will fit, we will get Max Dunston to build a top deck on my truck, they will fit and we will get them there and back. and that's just how it went down.
