The likes of Clem Dwyer and the others. mind you you would of seen the Offy's in full flight at claremont aswell!
By the way you might be interested but there is only about 500m of the old Brooklands Track still in shape in clarmont. You might of heard stories about this place. The first true race track in Australia. Sad sight but I got a bit of limestone on a shelf next to caversham asphalt!

I was there - the 250LM Ferrari was as impressive as the Lex Davison 1957 AGP car. The Ron Thorpe 289 Cobra came over twice I think for the 6 hour, Don O'Sullivan & the Lola thru to some lesser bred like the Vic Watson Hurricane V8 or its successor the Goblin ....
Are you saying you drove at Caversham recently?
