Street Machine Magazine October 2024

Spring is here, so why not kick-start those warm feelings by diving into the fresh-off-
the-press October issue of the bible?

On the cover is pro street maestro Simon Kryger’s WB Tonner. It may look like
granddad’s farm ute, but this no-prep killing machine is rocking 632 cubes of full-fat
fury, with gas on top for that seven-second pep.

Serg De Rose’s popping green XY GT tribute made a big impression when it was
unveiled at MotorEx earlier this year, rocking a tucked rear stance and nearly 700hp
of Clevo goodness.

John Ricca’s showstopping, twin-turbo LS-powered Torana has taken home elite
trophies from Street Machine Summernats. With a 325 rear tyre, beautifully styled
engine bay, and 992 horses at its disposal, it’s one hell of a car.

The late Scott Medhurst’s XC Fairmont got a new lease on life thanks to a trumpet-
fed, 427ci ProFlo Performance Cleveland.

This issue, we pay an emotional tribute to the late Harry Haig and Andrew
Baumgartner. We tragically lost this pair of ripper blokes only a few weeks ago, so
we relive some of the great moments we were lucky enough to share with them.

Recently, we journeyed to the deep heart of Australia for the 10th-birthday edition of
Red CentreNATS. With a bumper burnout field, hot desert conditions, killer cars
galore and a very special crowning of Grand Champion, it was a fitting celebration of
RCN’s stellar first decade.

The burnout action continues over the ditch, as we hit New Zealand for the 2024
Chrome Horsepower Festival. With track cruising, roll racing, burnouts, powerskids,
drifting and show ’n’ shine, it was a bloody hoot!

We’ve also got a full tech-nerd yarn on how to make Ford’s Godzilla V8 work in your
street machine; a sneaky HQ sedan sleeper; Donnie Zurcas’s Drag Challenge-
proven Mk1 Capri; all your favourite regulars; and loads more. Head out and grab
