[QUOTE=Darren290;6165804]To quote page 224 from his biography. 'I came back for the 1974 Sandown 500. The B52 was still in the states undergoing final testing so I ran the touring-car championship car.
That quote goes against all the reports of the time and Ray Cutchie sat at my kitchen table and told us all about the trip to the States and why the B52 failed at Bathurst after dominating Sandown.
What car exactly was the "touring car championship car"?
Moffat wrote off the 1973 car at Phillip Island at the end of that year and was given the former Gibson car. He raced this car in 1974 early on and quit the championship chase to take the car to America.
Australian Muscle Car magazine ran the story a couple of years ago too.
