Bathurst 1000

[southsport]

Hey Itsa, my respect levels for you were already good but they are off the charts now that I know your a Holden man lol!

As for you Southy, I'm shaking my head lol. Just kidding mate. I've been cheering for one Ford this year: The flying Kiwi Scotty Mac.


Yeah bro! We had a 1973 LJ XU-1 growing up. One of my all time favourite cars.

I now own another of my all time favourite cars, a 1984 VH wagon. Love to get my hands on an HQ one day.

Callmack, here's your 2018 Holden Commodore ZB Supercar.

LIVERPOOL,WARICK FARM,CASTLEREAGH.

The mustang looks like Pete Geoghan's machine.

Itsa I went to Warwick Farm, Oran Park, Amaroo and I bet you never went to the Hume Weir circuit.

 

[Itsamansgame]

callmack,how would you like to turn back Father Time and watch this heat from a old speedway in the NT.

southsport your a legend!

That mustang was the THE machine of it's day.

Pete Geoghan was co-driver with Moffat at Bathurst one year in an XB Falcon 2-door I think it was and Moffat said he was blessed to have a co-driver that was actually faster than Moff himself.........some people consider Pete Geoghan to be our best touring car driver of all time..........Brock fans would disagree though i would imagine.

HUME WEIR,strike me pink!

 

[Itsamansgame]

Definitely

The Javelin looked nice!

 

[southsport]

Itsa there was a track up near Katoomba called Catalina Park, did you ever go there? Never went myself.

No Southie never went but it feels like I have many times.
My Dad still to this day will always tell his story about being there and watching Bob Jane destroying his Mustang back in 1965.
I was 2 at the time,I've never forgiven him for leaving me at home.
But he made up for it with the Bunnies,by the time I was 8 I'd been to 5 GF's,I honestly believed that the SCG was our home ground we were there that often.
Great memories!

Awesome man. Like I say, I wish my father kept our Torana back then as it was sooo cool and I have so many memories of it.

Mate, there's countless races I'd go back and watch if I could turn back time.

Callmack, here's your 2018 Holden Commodore ZB Supercar.

Yea, I saw that a couple of weeks ago. It looks fine, just looks like a more modern Commodore (however I don't like the rear of it) but it will never be the same sadly.

I have an awful feeling that Supercars, the greatest racing category in the world is going to be ruined. It's just not gonna be the same in five, maybe even less, years time.

It's funny that you say that because i think the category will be better with more manufacturers, I'm not sure what brand of car Walkinshaw Racing will be driving though.
