I love the one at Lakeside when Dick dispatched a very young Paul Weel who was waving to his Mum. That was gold!

For me I think I'll remember Steve on Lowndes at Bathurst just gone for many years to come. Probably because I think a had a mild heart attack and started to shake that bad that I couldn't hold a beer until the race was over.
That is a real nice story DJR FAN, would have been great to experience that.quote:Originally posted by DJR-FAN
Sorry I'm getting a bit off topic.
That was the most memorable for me for a lot of reasons. The cheer that went up along pit straight when he pulled it off was so loud that you couldn't hear the rest of the field as they went past. I was in a box on the start line and looked down to my left to see a lone old man standing at the pit wall in the rain and got a lump in my throat when I realised it was Dick. Will walked along the landing at the back of the box to get out of the crowd on his way to the podium and I've never seen a bigger smile as we clapped him past. And to top it off while Steve and Will were at the post race press I walked right into Dick and Jill on their way back to the pits carrying the silverware and was able to congradulate them both. After all the team were back in the pits a crowd gathered at the DJR garage and a security guard started to move people away at which time Kelly Johnson called out to him and pointed to a few of us in Team Mates gear and me in my Club17 shirt and said not them, they're family, at which point Steve and Will left the celebrations and came over to shake us all by the hand. It's a memory that will only be topped next year after we win.

we probably bumped into each other DJRFAN.
I spent the last 35 laps behind the DJR Pit, I left all my mates over on pit straight as i just sensed something special was about to happen and I knew I just had to be a part of it, standing at the back of the pit talking to some of the guys including Will, was awesome, funny thing was, there was me and about three other fans, I couldnt believe that not many others were there, I guess they were engrossed watching the amazing race that was concluding before there eyes, anyway before I knew it,as the laps wound down I was actually in the pit sharing the emotion of the last 10 laps with the team and all the JB chicks it was awesome, to this day how I was not kicked out or arrested astounds me, I guess it was one of those once in a lifetime moments. (I was wearing all my Jim Beam Gear and was respectfully dressed BTW)to share the tears and to hug Jilly and shake hands with DJ at the end and to shout 3 cheers for Dick and Jilly when we all knew something special had just happened was absolutely amazing, a memory I will forever be greatful for.
Long Live DJR
