    Found this in a 1984 Australian Ferrari Register book.
    PLease note the 308 times. Bruce webster was always the fastest of the 308's back in those days, but I would like to point out another 308 that was faster.
    This is Calder on the short track.
    1). I was actually very fast back in those days. BUT the damage that was done to my 308
    (stuffed brakes and stress fractures to the chassis), made me make the decision to
    treat the car with a littlle more respect and that the almighty Trophy sitting gathering
    dust on the mantle piece wasn't what was important).
    2) the amount of cars running was fantastic.

    enjoy........AIRCON take note

    Wondered about that.. Don seemed too laid back to be "into" fast cars!

    Funny coincidence of names though!

    I don't care what the lap times say, there is as much chance of you beating bruce webster at calder as a QV beating a boxer at winton!!

    just because it's in print, doesn't make it true.

    What year?

    That Lambo did bloody well.

    Good to see a lot of those people still around. BTW, is Bill Prouse still with us?

    Funny to see a T430 do the same lap time as a 934. Barry's 750 Monza looks nice, before, like many, it was exported.

    And, a very fast time by Gil, well done.

    I see Scott's dad was driving Paula's 275 and 308 GTB. Not a bad time!

    Hey, I just noticed, that's a pretty freaking fast time in the Miura, amazing in fact.

    Well, I wasn't there, so you'd obviously know better. I saw it in '85, and I think it was on slicks then....but I could be wrong. I don't remember what I did 10 mins ago.
