Is it Brock's car though?

I'm sure I've seen footage of him driving one similar to that at Warwick Farm.

PB and it is Hume Weir

My name is on there for copyright as I have written permission from original photographer and that is why it is also in small size pixels

It is in fact Ian Tate at Hume Weir.

 

Has been shown to Ian and he said it is not him and yes, Hume Weir, wasn't quite sure as I do have pics from Tassie and also Winton of races in the late 60's and 70's

That's really funny because this pic popped up a few months ago and Ians son said it was Ian. I thought at the time bullshit it's Brock, but he was adamant.

Ian was shown the pic by a mate of mine in Melbourne (shock-horror, I do have a couple of great mates) and he said it wasn't him, but Brock

 

I believe at that time Brock had a beard and smoked, Ian only had the mutton-chops 

 

The driver of that car has a full beard

 

I suppose it doesn't really matter either way as it is a great pic of the time

 

Have quite a few more and will put them up later

Remember Brocky and his smokes at Oran Park in 1980

He failed to finish.

Pulled up near the end of the main straight.

Had smokes and lighter in the car and lit up as he watched the race finish

The person having a ciggy in the HDT XU1 doesn't look like any of the above to me.

Looks like Brock to me, but then I wouldn't know Ian Tate from a bar of soap :-)

I know who he is, but no idea what he looks like.
