Anyone that has access to the ABC2 digital channel currently they are showing footage from a 1970's Sandown endurance event with the big V8's (Ford/Holden, Brock, Harvey, Goss, etc) mixing it with Escorts, alfa's and even a Honda Civic (!!).....ah those were the days, all classes running together at the same time, none of this pansy taxi stuff.

Last night they had F5000's from AIR - black and whitre footage from early 70's.

The last couple of nights (that I've seen) they've been showing early 70's races from the old Warwick Farm course in Sydney. Would be a really nice circuit to still have open today. Tuesday night was classic GTHO vs Monaro from 1971 with Ian Gheoghan (sp ?? or was it Pete....) smoking the GTHO's tyres out of every corner.....anyone say 'drift' :laugh:.....of course they didn't last.

Last night was wet races from the same course with Alan Moffatt in the Mustang leading Gheoghan again (I think) in a HO. All mixed in with mini's, alfa's, EH Holden's, Monaro's, celica's, etc, etc.

What was the car Moffat was driving on Monday night...the name of its on the tip of my tonguw but i cant think of it..i think its the same sort of car that Brock had a play with at HDT in the early-mid 80s...Corvair???? Bugger...either way the thing was a coupe and looked a treat next to the HQ Monaro with all the sports sedan bolt ons.

Bring back Warwick Farm, it was only 10min drive from where i grew up, would have been great if it was there...hell i moved out to Richmond and the buggers even closed Amaroo before i was old enough to drive on it.

Still Amaroo is my favourite track...when i win Powerball tonight im going to open a Amaroo replica out the back of Wakefield :P
