Great find, thanks. Interesting to watch, you can see how they all got their reputations. Morris sliding on every corner, Moffat smooth as silk, and Grice looks completely out of control. Hows Grices form having a smoke while on the podium. Imagine doing that today

Great to watch- easy for us Victorians to forget what a great track Amaroo was! Thanks for posting.

Great find, thanks for posting, a guy I work with built his house on a 5 acre block on the old Amaroo Park Circuit at Annangrove, down the back of his block you can still see some of the bitumen that was part of the track

I don't see much of him, as he works permanent night shift, but he said yesterday there's probably not much left to see now, as it all started to crumble away and the grass was growing through it, his daughter kept a couple of horses down there for a fair while too, he bought the land and built the house in the late 90's, it's about 8 years since I saw it, it was a strip probably about 15 metres long and 3 or 4 metres wide, will see if I can get something though
