Best top ten
As a spin off from the Tool Man's thread, what do you think has been the best moment in Bathurst Shootout history? There was recently a list in Motor Racing Australia (reprinted in the Bathurst program), but what do you think?
83 and Dick into the trees? 81 and KB in the Camaro? Larko on pole? 6 cars off at the chase a couple of years ago? Brocky into the wall? My fave was the ST 98 1000. Rickard Rydell's lap was perfect, an incredible lap. But the best bit was the bloke who came tenth. Because the STs had terrible steering lock, they'd do another lap after the finish because they couldn't turn around at Hell Corner. I was the only person standing on the hill exitng the cutting (very sad). Peter Hills came up, and as you do, I gave him a wave. The best bit was, he waved back, his arms, legs and head- you could hear him screaming above the sound of the engine! That was one pumped up driver, and he wound up finishing last! |
