Speedster Reunion, here we come....... An Australian in Lincoln

Post by Rob » Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:00 am

Doug Partington, owner of the Wikner Special, known as Australia's oldest race car, arrived yesterday with his Wikner Special, ready to check in today for the Speedster Reunion. Last weekend he put the the Model T racer through it's paces at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway.

We have a house full of speedster enthusiasts. In addition to Doug and his wife, participants from Indiana, Kansas and Wisconsin shared beers and lies last night. I think we're ready for Lincoln.

The Bucky Badger speedster had a place in the garage. Not sure it deserved to be in a Husker garage..... :shock:

G'day Rob,

" GREAT STUFF " Thanks for posting the link to the clip.

I knew Doug was doing the Milwaukee Mile but I hadn't heard any news from him.

Have a great time at the reunion, and I look forward for anything you can post on the Forum.

Best regards, John Page, Australia.

Bucky is honored to be given a place in a Husker garage for a few days.
