Xtreme Wheels gets The Horn!
The organisers of the Xtreme Wheels Motor Show 2010 are pleased to announce that Dorset Horn will form part of the nostalgia collection at the show, over the weekend of June 12-13th at the Haynes International Motor Museum.
An iconic symbol of British Drag Racing, Dorset Horn has seen track action for 37 years, in the hands of West Country racer - Dick Sharp. Those lucky enough to see the car in the flesh at the recent Santa Pod Easter Thunderball, would no doubt agree that the latest incarnation is simply stunning! Following a pretty hefty top-end crash at Shakespeare County Raceway in 2003, the car has undergone a major rebuild but it still remains very much true to its origins. Darren West of Power Race Graphics has done a sterling job of creating graphics that bring the car bang up-to-date, yet still true to the 1973 look.
Following another flirt with the top-end wall, this time at Santa Pod - Easter, it looked liked the cars appearance at Xtreme Wheels was not going to happen. However, Dick and his crew were determined to use the show as a deadline to have the car back to its full glory. We can't wait to see Dorset Horn taking pride of place in our nostalgia collection.
Dan and Bob of Xtreme Wheels would like to thank the Dorset Horn team for their efforts in making the event a priority. Dick will also be using the show to promote the busy Shakespeare County Raceway programme.
