Wink Bathurst Memories

Its 50 years since I went to watch the race up in Bathurst. Lots of memories and a LOT of fun with a group of mates a couple of whom have sadly since passed.

Its the only car race I watch these days. 1000 kilometres (621 miles) in length. These cars are pulling 300 kilometres per hour down Conrod straight. The Bathurst track is actually a regular road servicing homes and farms but closes for race events.

Last time I was there was about 8 years ago, wife was with me, no races it was just a regular road but the temptation to sink the foot at the top of Conrod straight was HUGE. I resisted and thankfully so cause the cops had several speed cameras set up just waiting to pounce

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
