David Burrell; Charlie was a bit of a giant killer in that yellow number 26. My favorite was "fabulous Johnny Fenton", who (like most) started with Holden engines but then advanced to Offy's and Sesco's (then injected VW's) like everyone else. But Charlie embarrassed far more advanced machinery with his car. I saw it years later at a museum. His driving posture was unique. Most "leaned into the corner"; but Charlie's lean was far more extreme than anyone else's. Anyone who saw him drive will know what I mean. I will try and attach some pics of speedcar Holden engines. If they attach, all these cars powered by Holden greys.
