Seeing as the early Bathurst races seem popular here is the 1965 Armstrong 500.....

Just to show the difference back then, the winners (Barry Seton and Midge Bosworth) Cortina GT500 completed the 500 mile race, did post race scrutineering and then got driven another 500 miles back to Melbourne on the road as a Promotional Victory tour!

Barry Seton suffered Polio as a child, but did 22 Bathursts over a long and successful career. When he hung up his helmet he built engines for and entered son Glen Seton in a Capri (Glenn won 2 ATCC titles over the years ). I think it was 1983 Bo and Glenn shared a car at Bathurst) We saw a Seton at Bathurst every year bar one from 1963 to 2008.
Now we have a third generation Seton (Glens son Aaron) looking to be every bit as good as Barry and Glen. Aaron currently runs in Touring Car Masters and assorted other categories. He is one to watch for the future..
