Either way, hitting one of those posts on one of those sidecars would have been disastrous. Amazing footage Bry.
Having been to Bathurst several times, what these guys do is nothing short of amazing. Best track in the world brings out the best (and sometimes the worst in drivers). At the end of the day it is just a public road. Thanks for posting.
Great stuff, thanks Bry. Thirty years on, Chivas is still racing that 750 Yamaha, and still winning. He's the reigning Forgotten Era Australian sidecar champ, and had three wins at the Phillip Island Classic in January. Still quick, and still feisty.
