    It doesn`t get much more diabolical outside than this, strong gusty nort westerly, 38 degrees and extreme fire danger, so I opted to stay out of the bush today :whistle:

    You can`t beat the lounge, a good pie and cold drink in the comfort of the AC watchin Australias greatest race all day long :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    A bit non exciting so far, no big crashes but who would have thought one of Boony`s mates would think jumping on the track was a good idea today,, of all days :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I did an Adveturethon (multi spot race) this morning so I have well and truly earned a lazy arvo on the couch watching the race.
    Plus I really need to dehydrate!! B)

    I was at Bathurst two years ago, it was absolutely ball tearingly freezing. Looks a bit warmer today.

    I bit of motor racing trivia of mine. I’ve got Jochen Rindt’s autograph. Who? Google it!

    Lefty, you should know this one.

    Bathurst is a bit like a good ADV ride then Wiggy :whistle:
    Ball freezing one minute, stifling hot & dry the next, then get hammered by a late storm and get drenched :laugh:

    Take appropriate clothing to cover all conditions ;)

    Jochen Lindt – The only driver to ever be awarded a championship after his unfortunate death :S
    Quite a legend amongst the F1 community apparently.

    Well done Eags, indeed he was and still is, the only F1 driver to win the championship posthumously.

    I got his autograph in ’72 at the British Grand Prix (I was 12). I think he was killed a couple of weeks later.

    My Dad was heavily involved in sponsorship of motor racing at the time so we got pit passes to a lot of events. It was fantastic to be able to wander past Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart etc. I’ll bet you wouldn’t be allowed to do that now.

    I’ve got a photo somewhere of my old man presenting the winners trophy and garland to the winner of a formula 3 event in the early ’70’s. The young man in question…..James Hunt.

    Must see that new film about him and Lauda.
