[attachment=2]Wondered if anyone in the Uk have any old 80/90s pics or info of the mentioned sandrail that Paul "Botch" Veners built, I've acquired the buggy so just looking for some history for it. Previously called Crazy daze and Cool Runnings

Thinking about it, Cool Runnings was Laurie Craig and his dad Ralph. They had all manner of stuff, last I heard they had the ex-Outrage/Eightrage funny car.

Just looked up laurie craig and Cool Running looks like it was a funny car bug, does look like Eightrage with a red paint job
Think I can rule out this UVA ever being called Cool runnings

I'm new to this and can't wait to get on a track once I've built the motor for it, looks like fun
