Dean Hansen currently races his yellow 1972 Holden HQ in the Central Muscle Car series. Dean purchased his car late 2016 and after a season in Northern Muscle Cars moved to the highly competitive Central Muscle Car series where he achieved 3rd overall in Group 1 and Rookie of the year. Dean spent a few years in his 20’s racing karts and afterwards did the odd hill climb in an Evo 4 RS but ultimately he was drawn to the big car, big horsepower of the 70’s era. Nothing beats the look and sound of big V8
