Well Happy Birthday for whenever it was Eric!

For the record I was 5 1/2 years old and this week of that year I would have been running around the pits at a Historic race car meeting. It was probably 40degC in the shade and I would have been covered in a thin coating of engine oil and dust and nostrils filled with the scent of Shell 'Racing A' methanol fuel as I raced from pit to pit helping who ever I could between watching my old man race. Having a ball!

Funny, but if they hadn't closed down Amaroo Park Raceway I would probably be doing exactly the same thing again now...
