Just a reminder that those big beautiful 5.0 litre V8's again do battle at
the awesome Mt. Panorama circuit at Bathurst this weekend. I'm interested to
know if you guys outside OZ get any t.v. coverage or have much knowledge on
the race. I camped up on the mountain several times in the late 70's with my
buddies to watch Peter Brock win a couple of his 9 victories.( this years
race is his last ) Mt.P sure would make a damn fine add-on track for Grand
Prix Legends !!<g> ( It hosted the Australian GP in 1947,52 & 54. )
