From Gippsland, Dom D’Agostino’s LX hatchback Torana was competing in the True street class held recently at the Melbourne round of the APSA championship. The LX is powered by a high compression naturally aspirated 383 cube Holden V8 stroker, built by Molinari Race Engines and drives through a trans-braked Powerglide, Ford 9 inch rear end and street radial tyres.
