Vintage year - Bathrust now the Island with Casey!

Forget about the grill badges, this Bathurst was a huge driving skill spectacle. Rain & slicks, pits traffic jams and all.

As for most years the cream of the drivers are in the front group at the end of the race. Those last few laps were worth the wait. Was that PB behind Skaife knocking his knees?

The Supercar formula is working for the drivers, but without good quality support races, it would be boring for the mountain bogans!

Bring on Phillip Island, that will add some much needed diversity. I went there in '97 and saw Doohan bail out on the turn one at near 300 and then casually walk back to the pits - he had little to prove already World Champ with a record of season wins. At least I saw him for a couple of laps and have a coffee mug signed in person by him!

BTW booking with a bus ride from/to Town Hall made the day - quick exit and no traffic problems - bargain!
