[quote VAB120JCPE3085KC]Yes Freeway, the modern palatial pits at Bathurst separating the "racers" from the hoi ploy are a far cry from the pits of the 60s. Bathurst you got an 8'6" square, tin roof dirt floor box constructed from railway sleepers, some where to keep your pit signal board, & a few tools. The pit work was conducted in front of this, on the side of the race track The pit area even at the best tracks was a paddock, grassy if you were lucky, but often a muddy swamp. A few up market teams had a small tent. Some were far from flat, at Catalina it was wise to chock the wheels of your race car, lest it rolled away even with the hand brake applied.[/quote] This was the scene behind the pits in 1967; the Alfa Giulia Super of Bill Burns and Chris Brauer having work done using all the mod-cons.
