Default My wheel standing telstar

After six years or so, I finally got my 408 clevo telstar back to the track. This is a still shot from a video of the first round racing, 7th & 8th jan, Perth Motorplex. I think I need to invest in some wheelie bars! If there are any track photographers reading this that may have taken a shot, PLEASE get in contact with me.
