Ian "Pete" Geoghegan was a man whom I never got to see/remember seeing race.

His history however is part of Australian motorsport folklore and by many he is missed without doubt.

Seeing still pics of his Mustang is spine tingling - not from the fact that it's a Mustang, but rather the fact that it's a driver who is passionate, pushing, and giving it his all.

The closest I can relate to Ian is seeing Peter Brock on TV in the Wellington Street Race in 1987 (or thereabouts??) in the Advantage(??) Commodore going for broke.

Close study of still shots tell a lot about a man we all miss, and who was so humble and appreciative of his fans and followers in an era when motorsport was about purity - muscle to power the car and muscle to turn the beast through the turns.
