BATHURST! Arguably the best auto racing circuit in the world!
Travel to Bathurst, that was the dream!
The chance to experience what is termed - "The Great Race"
I flew over to Aussie with a mate Kevin who supports and drives a GM product.
This is where we stayed and probably the best located of all accommodation around Bathurst, as it's entrance is right on that hallowed piece of tarmac - CONROD STRAIGHT.
Taken at around 6.30am we are on our way to the start/finish line to set up a spot and take in the first days action. Kevin acting like he is still at the bar!
Looking back / looking forward.
About halfway down the straight. Visualising the cars coming at you at 185mph/296kmh!
Almost there coming up to Dunlop and Murray's Corner a left hander into the front straight.
Thinking about the past, my favourite cars/drivers, the future battles
that are going to be played out on the actual stuff I'm walking on!
At the top of the mountain looking down to the pits.
Gives you some perspective of height and distance.
The reason to get on a plane and Travel Australia. To see one of the legendary Bathurst race cars of the early 70s.
