My first motor racing experiences were also at Warwick Farm in the
60's. They were the days, F1 drivers and cars for the Tasman series,
Pete Geoghegan with his Mustang, Norm Beechey and his Chev, Brian
Foley and Peter Manton in their Minis. The memories come flooding
back.

......Frank Matich and the 'SR' series of Sports-Racers....Bill Brown with
the P4 Ferrari brought out to Oz for a year by David Mackay (Scuderia
Veloce)....the "Yellow Bathtub" owned by Alec Mildren and driven by Kev
Bartlett.....and some bloke in a two-door (imported) Falcon Sprint arriving
at Creek Corner sideways from under Dunlop Bridge one wet Sunday!

Great days, and a great racing circuit.
