Still my "hero".

yes, true. just did the calculations and it was around 802 km . i must have got confused with the 130 laps they did and put the 30 at the end of the kilometre amount

he will always be my hero too. no one else comes close in my opinion
i am very pedantic when it comes to others building the legend of brock and others when the actual events were different to peoples beliefs. in trying not to have a selective memory, i downgraded moff's achievement in your posts

sorry, but i will always point out problems with brock's stories, so am just trying to be fair when my hero is concerned

until you bought into it with selective quoting, that still is not right, this part of the discussion seemed to be finished and we were back on topic

And of course, because someone disagrees with you, they have to be wrong. You have to twist things around just to confirm you are right, as shown by you're highlighting of comments.

So yes, of course, the discussion has to now move back onto the topic area, you feel more comfortable with. Can't have a moderator proven wrong by some person of a lower ranking than yourself now.

Regardless of this incident in question, it was still a terrific drive by Perkins and Ingall, in conjusnction with his pit crew and some fortune falling their way.

There are and were many great drivers in V8 racing in this country.
People have mentioned Peter Brock's drive in the wet, but I give you Mark skaif and Jim Richards at Bathurst driving Godzilla also in the wet on slicks.
My all time favourite has to be the Geoghegan brothers. Drove Bathurst in business suits, complete with hat back in the mid 60's

Current drivers? Got to be Lowndes.

Of all time? I think I might be a bit too young to comment on that. :P
