1981 |
The Pages purchased Dennis
Priddles Monza Funny Car complete minus the motor, intending to buy a new
motor from the states for the car. But the period between buying the funny
(as the 'T' still hadn't been sold) plus the astronomical cost of all the
transatlantic phone calls and shipping trying to get a new motor together,
slowed the project down considerably. The team decided that to get the car
back on the track at all, a motor was going to have to be sought in the UK.
The team returned to Dennis Priddle, and another deal was done for Dennis
to put a motor together for the car.
The team had hoped to debut the car during
81, but the woes with the motor and cash flow meant the Monza finally made
it back out in it's good looking 'Panic' colours at the Easter 82 meeting
at the Pod. (From the Priddle Monza
