The Bathurst 1000!
Here I am, finding myself sitting here at my computer, listening to the sounds of the V8 hum on the television. Its Race Weekend in Bathurst. The Bathurst Supercheap Auto 1000. Yes I am a rev head, yes I would love a hot lap around the great Mount Panorama. MountPanorama, Bathurst is one of those places that is totally unpredictable, you live 60 seconds at a time, and you hope to hell that it treats you right, and you actually finish the 161 laps of the 6.2 kilometre course. Coming down Conrod straight heading toward the Chasers, is the fastest part of the track, where the likes of Mark Skaife, in the Supercheap Auto v8 Holden Commodore hit maximum speed at approximately 300km/hour. As those v8’s thunder past, you feel the rush that the drivers feel, its like this symphony in a huge concert hall playing, they feel like home, and then you realise that it’s the drivers driving their cars, that have been tuned, and fine tuned, and checked and double checked, driving around the awesomelyunpredictable mountain. Race Weekend in Bathurst is huge, the 2 towns on either side of Bathurst are completely booked out, Bathurst itself is booked out, and here I am still in my lounge room. However, I do thank Channel Ten, (yes I did say that) for showing an awesome broadcast of the event. Peter Brock, 9 time winner of Bathurst, now passed away, was King Of The Mountain, he was in racing terms, Peter Perfect, he was the ultimate driver, the ultimate racer, and the ultimate strategist, and he had the ultimate cars. Bathurst is a huge Holden fans vs. Ford fans, the rivalry has never shone through as much as the 2005 Bathurst 1000, when Greg Murphy, K-Mart Racing Team (Holden) and Marcus Ambrose, (Ford) blew up at one another and were starting their own boxing match on the track. To win Bathurst, it takes guts, good performance, fitness, perfection, and focus… Bathurst is said to separate the men from the boys when they race, and that is exactly what it does. I love Bathurst, its one of those places where it is totally unpredictable and its awesome, I love it… the rush, the adrenaline, its spectacular, it IS the best thing to watch on television, that sheer rush you get from sitting there watching it is just … to hard to put into words.
