Hi there to all my Rare Spares friends,
It’s a very busy time right now for me; I am at the start of a scheduled 5 consecutive weekends of racing. Prior to this I spent the weekend at the MotorEx show in Sydney. I honestly have to say that it’s the best car show I have ever attended, literally hundreds of cars to make your eyes bulge.
Looking at the Toranas, Monaros and Falcon GTs I could not help but be reminded what an important part Rare Spares play in preserving our motoring heritage. They all are restored using Rare Spares mind boggling selection of resto parts!
This weekend I am racing the Maranello Ferrari in Queensland which is as hi-tech as the Mustang is low-tech. The following weekend I am racing my friend Trevor Simpson’s 1967 Brabham BT 23 open-wheel car at the Winton Festival of Speed, then it’s off to America to race at the Famed Laguna Seca Raceway for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
Since I retired from V8 supercar racing, I seem to be doing more racing and driving than ever, just not getting paid for it; but let’s face it, I love cars and love the sport, so I intend to race until I am 80.
Wish me luck, JB
