A true legend alright and bloody nice guy off the track as well. Myself and Sally had the pleasure of meeting and racing him 5 years ago at the Gold Cup meeting in Adelaide, (this is now the World Champs) At the teams champs in Palmy 3 seasons back the sidecar guys past the hat around for his swinger who was layed up in hospital after a big crash at the N Z Champs in Palmy (that crash was put up on the big screen that night) Past Australian champ

That really is sad news. I remember well the late Mark Goodyer swinging for Gary over here whilst Aaron Dwight was recovering from injuries substained at Rosebank Road, prior to the tragic Waikaraka Park crash 12 months later. I think Mark did a few meetings with Moon mid-season that year, it'd be what? 1992 I think? - I know I've got some pics around somewhere.
