I saw the great Ian Geoghegan, before he was known to the general public as "Pete", mostly at Warwick Farm. I saw him in many cars Jaguar MkI, Aston Martin Zagato, Cortina GT, Lotus 23s, and in a Lotus Elan chasing Spencer Martin's Ferrari LM250 around the "Esses" at the Farm. But like many I remember him best in those two Mustangs. Ohhhhh, The noise from those cars!
On the warn up lap, down Hume Straight, he always got a standing ovation, with the Mustang, and I'll always remember his smile and his wave.
Those were truly great days.
R.I.P. "Pete"
