Stram_man should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Whether you like him or not there is no doubt he achieved some impressive results in his career with not the same funding as others. He is very correct in saying he was one of the very few racers of that era to be doing as a profession rather than as a hobby. eg Bob Jane.
While Brock was the other notable exception he appears to have been very well looked after by the Holden media machine. He was in reality also more personable.
Moffat recent merchandise push is to protect his brand and you cannot blame him for that.
Given the "original" Brock rubbish that I see on ebay that I know did not exist when he was alive, let alone from the era, you cannot blame Moffat for protecting his brand.
I have read the Moffat book and it is a great insight into the golden ra of motorsport.
