Re: Phillip Island Historics

Leon, Jac Mac and Russ, thanks for the info on Grahm McRae. '72, 73, & '74 was a great time working in F5000. I met a lot of talented people. Peter Gethin, David Hobbs, Jim Hall, Terry Agapiou, Vern Shupan, Jody Sheckter, Brian Redman, Warick Brown to name a few. The other two mecanics on Graham's team were, Dennis MacCormack and a Brit named Roger. I can't remember his last name, but he worked for Jim Clark at one time. Dennis went on to become an Indy Car Team owner. Lost track of Roger. The team's base of operation back then was at Harley Clutuxton shop in Chicago. Harley gave me a ride in a MKIV, the one driven by Mario Andretti & Bruce McLaren. I have a friend with a Lola T332 sitting in his barn for sale. If I only had the money! Only $120,000.00 the last I heard.
