WHILE wandering the pits at the 2023 Tuff Mounts Holden Nationals at Heathcote Park Raceway, ironically it was Ron Smith’s stickered-up 1966 Ford Galaxie that especially drew our attention. Ron was helping out at the drags as an IHRA steward, so we bailed him up for a quick chat about his time-warp Galaxie.
It must be funny to have a Ford getting photographed at a Holden-exclusive event?
Yeah, it certainly is! All my mates were standing around calling me ‘Hollywood’ for it, but then I reminded them that you boys have stopped to photograph the only Ford at a Holden event!
How long have you had the Galaxie?
