Classic Aussie Motor Racing on TV

[Asteroid]

I might talk to the programmers and remind them about some great 70s Aussie rally programs siting in the ABC library. There are several Southern Cross Rallies (RWD, pre-turbo era goodness with Greg Carr, Colin Bond, George Fury etc), the brilliant 1979 Repco Round Australia Rally and even some Kempsey off-road championships.

:worship:

I would love to see that.

However, my favourite part was the guy pulling the wheel off Bob Janes tyre using a broom handle or something in the pit lane, wearing THONGS!!!

But did he keep the smoke in his mouth whilst changing the tyre ?? or was he one of the fancy pro teams I think one of the best things about watching the old reels is seeing that sort of shit , chinese safety boots in the pits ,drivers with open polo shirts , some young dude sloshing fuel in the tank ,and everywhere else -no dry break here sonny jim .then picks up his smoke again .And no nancy boy helmet radio contact , got a msg? stand out there on pit straight with a chalkboard dude.Where the fuck did it all go wrong, i dunno .
