1980's Slot Racing (at G&D)

Post by stoo23 »

Hey All,..

Found this Some time ago and it Has been Posted / Referenced in Other Forums,.. but I guess 'Partly' as Both Fox and Myself Are in the Video :) ;) ;)

There are Heaps of 'Other' people from the Past,.. with us ALL Looking Waaaay Younger !!!!

I think it Must have been a "Matich" Trophy Weekend,..??
It was a 'News Interest' Story done I believe by Channel 9

Definitely Worth a Look !!
NB: Sadly, it would seem Someone (from Channel 9 I would Imagine), has Removed this Classic Aussie Slot Racing video from YouTube and I have been unable to find a 'link' to it Anywhere :(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApHd4lWRmI4

Might have to contact 9 and see if WE can get a copy.

Yeah, saw that quite a while ago, but I didn't recognise anyone.

I wasn't racing at that time, so didn't know any of our old fart racers of today, when they were younger!! :)

Which ones are you 2 chaps, and who is the guy talking about the down force on the wing car? Sounds like Eric Whitmore, but not sure!!

Yes, that's Eric.

Eric turned up at a race on the Gold Coast a few months ago. Getting on a bit now.
Cheers,

OK, I would have guessed that was Fox in the red shirt. Mannerisms haven't changed much.
Wouldn't have picked you tho.
