=========================
Dan Hewitt recalls: The yearly Waroona Stock Car Championships were approaching and I didn't have an engine for my LC Torana stock car that I was racing at the time, So Foot Robinson lent me the engine out of his old Demo Derby car.
We got the meeting under way and I made it through the heats and into the feature, thats when the engine developed a horrible noise with a couple of laps to go, I saw Footy standing on the embankment waving me on, Then with half a lap to go, the engine spat a rod out the side, I managed to hold on for second in the B Stock Championship and drove the car back to the pits and turned it off, much to everyone amazement.
