Nothing like Bathurst, did a lap a couple of weeks ago on the wing following a dozen sidecars. Not sure who I want to win but will be watching all day as well as recording it. Just decided, Tander  or Courtney (Perkins) to win and not Whincup ( :o )

Shame about the weather after a couple of great days of practice and qualifying.

I'm finding it very interesting. Really demonstrates who has the talent to control the car in these conditions.

It's traditionally been held on the NSW Labour Day holiday weekend or last weekend if it hadn't been moved for some stupid reason like a footy match.

:think1 :OldMan :fp

They were both there...along with a number of the other surviving greats.

Meet Harry Firth when I was a kid as his brother retired across the road from us....he was passing through and called in with this long hair lout of a kid in tow called Peter  :-++

How can you not be interested in Moffat, Bond, Letts & Higgins? Call yourself a New Australian.  :butt
