We all remember the Fuddruckers EB that SJ raced at Oran Park 94, but who sponsered him the following year at the same race track[?][?]

What year was the racing for life sponsered Falcon run by SJ? Can't recall the Digital sponsered Falcon.

 

[Fordlover]

i think it was 1997 or 1998, i remeber watching it on tv at lakeside, that was the blue one with orange Racing for life livery wasnt it??

 

[J.C.]

Digital Falcon ran in 95.

RFL falcon ran in 97 (I Think)
It was ment to be a full time team,yet for some reason never got that far.
SJ was allways going back to Shell for the Sandown / Bathurst double and 2 new drivers were going to race the car in those two races, but for some reason it never happened.
I do remember a young Tod Wanless geting the drive and then not getting it.
Some harsh word were said in various publications and then the team appeared no more.
If I remember correctly Terry Bowe was involved.

You've got it aagain JC. 1995 Oran Park.

 

[Doug]

Does anyone remember the significance of the Racing For life car number?

 

[J.C.]

Greg Hansford.
What it was I cant Remember.
Maybe the year he died or his old bike number.
I am positive you will tell us Doug.

 

[Doug]

Sadly, the year he died. Strange really, that a guy that raced in the most danderous of professions died in a relatively safe formula, after spending years trying to improve safety both on the track and on the road.

 

[J.C.]

Very sad indeed.
My late father had seen alot of Hansford in his early days.
He rated him better than Grame Crosby who was his hero.
What Hansford did on bike was amazing...Yet such a nice fellow.
Its true the good do die young.

 

[TRU BLU]

Yes Dougy a relatively safe formula but the track he died at is not very safe for car racing

 

[Doug]

No, TruBlu, the Island is certainly more suited to bikes

 

[Seton Fanatic]

The Racing for Life Falcon ran in 1998, garnering some good results, being robbed of a podium at Mallala by Glenn Seton.
