Harvey did crash out as well and went to help Moffat out of the RX-7.
Rob you would have noticed out grandstand at lakeside every yearquote:Originally posted by Rob 18
Unfortunately as a southerner, I never had the chance to take in a race meet at Surfers. Remember watching plenty of great racing their on the box from that roll over in 81 with the failing brakes on the XD, to that epic battle between DJ, Moff, Harvey & McLeod in the wet in 84. Seemed to always produce great racing IIRC.
I made the trip twice to Lakeside in the mid 90's before it closed & what a race track that was. From the cars backed up to the fence on the race track & the patrons with their BBQ's, to the $5 grandstand where you couldn't see bugger all. Still couldn't believe as a southerner, how big Dick Johnson was at Lakeside. I reckon he had 1/2 the crowd just following #17. It was crazy!!!
Good memories..
