Thanks for that @SDU, I knew about Kurt and his history, but really interesting to see it all again. 
As a former flag marshal, Iām quite surprised at the lack of safety for officials, spectators and teams.
I was still at school in '69.
Production cars and multiple class races were far more interesting than the current formula type racing.
For the life of me I canāt do F1: give me a rally stage or a club event any day of the week. Same goes for bikes: Iām not suggesting for a minute that MotoGP isnāt way more exciting than F1, but give me Superbike races. And then thereās the IoM TT and the Manx GP and the Ulster TT andā¦
The current Super V8 series is a formula, same chassis, same gearbox/transaxle, the only difference being Ford or Chev engines. The carbon fibre skins are even interchangeable.
Lot of people love it but I canāt be bothered watching V8 Supers.

Mr Lightburn should have stuck to washing machines and hydraulic jacks, but at least he had a crack.
Many of those photos were taken at the National Motor Museum, in the Adelaide Hills.
Love it, especially the gearbox, just like the 3 wheeled Ape van which sits in my back garden and used for storage. 4 forward gears, then throw a lever and they all go backwards. But at least the Ape has a back door with all the advantages of a commercial for space, surely the biggest drawback of the Zeta, no rear hatch.
Despite being a keen, young car buff in that era, Iāve never seen one outside a museum.
