What was the best race meeting you ever attended? While I watch the telecasts religiously, I've also enjoyed being trackside whenever the oppotunity arose. They were all pretty damned good; I saw Robert Rumble smash a hillclimb record at Mountainview Hillclimb in 1985, enjoyed the kart racing at Kembla Grange on many occasions, went to the Creek for the first touring car race, and found myself in the pits, standing between Sir Jack Brabham and Larry Perkins after the podium presentation. Eastern Creek 92, Oran Park 1990 both were good days out...
But my favourite was Bathurst 1994. LP's lurid powerslides in the early rain, standing in the Clatex Chase spectator area as John Bowe and Craig Lowndes whistled through with their cars seemingly glued together... standing in the crowd beneath the podium screaming our delight at the result... dozens of consecutive rides in the DJR Sierra simulator... hard to beat! How about you?
