"it's a tough and emotional time but Allan is safe, well and happy. "
I did take the positives out of your post, in what James told you about Allan being happy where he is. |

What made a few people a bit teary eyed was when he passed the convertible with Mostert and James sitting on top, Allan mouthed "I love you" when he saw his son

Interesting to see Allan in the small video for Tickford celebrating his Coke Mustang and the tribute livery the current Mustang has with his son co-driving it.

Any idea where that is filmed? A proving ground somewhere?

Al Pal turns 80 on the Sunday of the Sandown meeting.
Here’s hoping it is commemorated properly |

Do they ever celebrate other old drivers birthdays?
Not as if Moffat has ever had anything to do with Supercars either? |

Touring car racing existed in Australia before Cochrane arrived on the scene believe it or not.The heritage of Supercars goes back to before that corporate entity was formed.

The other 1999 inductees was well known Supercar drivers Geoghegan, Beechey and Jane. The criteria refers to Australian Touring Car racing and Supercars. |

Larry Perkins tells the story on Enforcer and the Dude. Moff went to negotiate on behalf of the whole field and when the promoter called his bluff on all the cars not appearing, Moff opened his briefcase to reveal the log book of every car. Deal was done, and that moment was the beginning of the strength in numbers and unity that would lead ultimately to the teams recruiting Tony Cochrane. |

So why is it not called the “Australian Touring Car” hall of fame then?
Moffat (or Beechey or Jane as mentioned earlier) did not compete in “Supercars” or “V8Supercars”, so why induct them into something with that branding? Supercars did not exist when they competed I’m pretty sure Moff wasn’t inducted into the hall of fame on the back of being at the forefront of TEG, then TCI and later TEGA |

If you think it should be changed, drop Supercars a line; it's not going to change as a result of this discussion.

But he is in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Surely those responsible for creating a "hall of fame" can set the rules? |

Manufacturing your history rather than creating it. Why can't Supercars be proud of their own heroes they created? |

It's widely accepted that the ATCC evolved into what we have today. The Supercars champion is awarded the ATCC trophy.

Instead Supercars market their brand, award the “Supercars Championship trophy” with little to no attention paid to the awarding of any ATCC presentation, yet lean on ATCC stats for supposed heritage. Supercars decided to do their own things their own way from 1997 with little regard for things beforehand. Surely Supercars as an organisation should be proud of its own achievements and the stars it has created itself? Why in 2019 are we not celebrating the 23rd Supercars Champion? (And the 23rd Supercars 1000 winners while we are at it?) Why link yourselves to history the organisation obviously wasn’t interested in continuing and wanted to do their own way? |
