| Re: V8 Supercars.
The Dude (Paul Morris, for those not familiar with the local vernacular) likes to take the "shine" off brand new cars driven by opponents, so Nurph (Greg Murphy) had better not get too close.
The Dude was voted "the dirtiest driver in V8's". He replied by selling T-shirts at his merchandising tent "Dirty, Dangerous Dude". At that same meeting while racing in a smaller class "Aussie Racing Cars", the course announcer mentioned that the leader of the race "must be nervous with a mirror full of Dude".
Of course, The Dude does occasionally had the cherry popping duties to the likes of Matt Neal from time to time.....
Some years ago a brand new Morris chassis had been built for Sandown & Bathurst. It was taken to the Oran Park event as a shakedown/mileage for Neal, who proceeded to put 2 complete laps on it and then wrote it off right in front of me without it ever seeing a grid. |
