Good work GTR. And Merry Christmas to you!
Although you focus on Moff, it could be Allan Grice most years.
Bob Morris watching the closing laps in 1976.
DJ in 1980
Or Seto in a dead Falcon in 1995.
The common denominator? These blokes all had their b@lls on the line. Emotionally and financially. Losing really hurt. And they were ok with showing that.
We have seen glimpses of similar public heartache more recently. Broc at Bathurst as you mentioned. Scotty Mac when he pranged the Volvo in 2014. The exhausted and spent Davey in 2018
Got me thinking. ALL of these are at Bathurst.
And that's why the Mountain is such as amazing place.
