About this paint

Australian Speedway racer Nick Girdlestone took over driving the Nicholson Racing owned Monte Carlo in 1989 after Fred Seery . Nick raced the car in this paint scheme for most of 1989 at the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia. The Thunderdome is a purpose-built 1.801 km (1.119 mi) quad-oval speedway located on the grounds of Calder Park Raceway. It was originally known as the Goodyear Thunderdome to reflect the naming rights sponsorship bought by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. With its "double dogleg" front stretch and the start/finish line located on a straight section rather than the apex of a curve, the Thunderdome is technically a quad-oval in shape, though since its opening it has generally been referred to as a tri-oval. The track, modelled on a scaled down version of the famous Charlotte Motor Speedway, has 24° banking on Turns 1, 2, 3 and 4 while the front stretch is banked at 4° and the back straight at 6°. the track has fallen into poor condition and has not been used since the early 2000's . If we can get it scanned we can all race it forever . Just need Dale Jnr to hear about #scan_the_thunderdome
