Bob’s got a soft spot for the Mooneyes Corvette. “I had followed Bill Warner when he raced a cut-down ’34 coupe and I remember being at Windsor RSL Speedway and Mooneyes turned up. It had an aerofoil wing on the top, and I went: ‘What the hell is this thing?’ I’d never seen anything like it. I fell in love with the car and wherever Billy raced, I went and watched” ABOVE & RIGHT: One of Bob’s current projects is the #53 Mcgee Racing Cams Holden, built in the 60s by Ray Redding with the help of Hedley and Phillip Mcgee. Based on the Kurtis Kraft design, the car ran an injected sideplate six and was fast from day one. Pictured above is ‘Leadfoot’ Len Brock behind the wheel at Sydney Showground. “Ray Redding only raced it for a couple of seasons at the Showground,” says Bob. “I didn’t know that Brocky had driven it; this is news to me!”
