Jumping back into the archives for a bit – here’s the famous (and some say controversial) finish to the 1992 Tooheys 1000.
It was a sad day for me – one of my racing heroes, Denny Hulme died on live television before my eyes that day – of a heart-attack at the wheel early in the race. Given the mood, many people just wanted to get this race over and done with, and move on. It’s certainly the only Bathurst I’ve wanted to “hurry up and finish”.
That wish was granted when the rain intervened, and the notoriety of this day in Australian sport was born.
