I first saw tether cars run In Melbourne in the mid 1950’s at the Exhibition Building in Carlton at a model fair .
The cars were run In The Great Hall.

The sound stayed in my memory  until 10 years ago when I read an article in “Rod And Custom” Magazinethat triggered
my memory .

Since then I have taken on the tethered car hobby and now have over 30 cars that  inlude Doolings. McCoys, Bunches,
Kings, Morrisons, B.B.Corns, Satans, Dallaires, Rowells, Popp and several customs and one-offs.

I find It an Interesting hobby and tried to get a trrack going in Melbourne .But to no avail  The only people interested had no
money or were not prepared to put up any. as I was.

They have no real Interest in the hobby but only want to make a quid out  of it.
 
Here are some photos of  my collection of tether cars .and my 1938 Hinman Sprint Car.

I also have a half built tether car portable track, 35 foot In diameter.

I will keep In touch as I hope to have the track running  later this year.
