Dear Dennis, Rocky Mountain Thunder was purchased by Steve and Vic Butler and she ran a few times as Rocky Mountain Thunder and was later repainted using the Lunatic name which suited the driver Steve Butler extremly well, a few years later Lunatic was sold to Clive Fetherby who then transformed it in to Outback Thunder as it still is today. yours faithfully, stuart forrest |
