Dennis and Geoff Gatt have been running this sweet little 511 cubed Keith Black powered T Bucket in the Nostalgia Outlaw bracket with Dennis top qualifying in the eight car field with a 7.15. Consistent times in the three round Chicago shoot out format saw Dennis face brother, Ben Gatt in the final and despite recording a slower 7.314/181.50 it was a superior .063 light was too good for dad’s .221 reacted 8.26/160.50.

One of Australia’s most experienced supercharged outlaw drivers, Ben Gatt (near lane) has been in demand of late driving a number of cars for other owners including Sam Prestia’s blown and injected XY Falcon. Seen here in qualifying he ran an 8.31 for fifth spot then ran well enough in the three round Chicago shootout to face brother Dennis in the final. There a lazy .224 light and an 8.26/160.50 fell short of a winning 7.31.
