I think that my thing was pre 1970, maybe 1969. I do remember changing gears when the tacho was well in the red zone, and the motor screaming in protest
Bathurst, now that was well before the dog leg (whatever it is called) was put in. How on earth did you stop at the bottom of that road?
My last memory of the Bathurst races was when I was one of the CAMS scrutineers. The reason for the dog leg at the bottom of the straight is because a driver got airborne at that point and shorten the car by 50%. Yes he didn't survive. that was about 24 years ago.
