Neil I saw your 50 years of Bathurst ,it would have been great if you had an interview with ( Silver Fox ) Harry Firth a 4 time winner of Bathurst and also a winner at the Island.
A Champion in the past motor sport people , hopefully he is well enough for you to get time with him.
AS Sir Jack was overlooked on his 50th anniversary of his world Championship Harry is not over looked at Bathursts 50th Anniversary.
