Next time I see my grandfather I'll ask him about those days, He might have been a bit young himself to remember them but his dad might have told him about it.

Hey Rammyjammy,

You young fella you - gee 1986 I was in Singapore then with the services can't remember how I heard about the Rebels win but those were the days!
I tried to talk to Pat Westbury once over the phone bout the Eddie Hawkins payback in that 1998 race re the Cats and he wouldn't discuss it - mind you he doesn't talk much at the best of times! I was trying to coerce him back teams racing trying to remind him of his responsiblities re unfinished business!!
Actually here's a joke for you about reminiscing:


"Grandpa and Grandma were sitting in their deck chairs watching the speedway at Te Marua speedway and reminiscing about "the good old days," when the Wildcats and the Rebels would smash the hell out of each other.
Grandma turned to Grandpa and said, "Honey, do you remember when we first started dating at Wellngton speedway and you used to just casually reach over and take my hand during race breaks?" Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and obligingly took her aged hand in his.

With a wry little smile, Grandma pressed a little farther, "Honey, do you remember how after we were engaged, you'd sometimes lean over and suddenly kiss me on the cheek during race breaks?" Grandpa leaned slowly toward Grandma and gave her a lingering kiss on her wrinkled cheek.

Growing bolder still, Grandma said, "Honey, do you remember how, after we were first married, you'd kind of nibble on my ear?" Grandpa slowly got up from his deck chair and headed back to the carpark. Alarmed, Grandma said, "Honey, where are you going?"

Grandpa replied, "Back to the carpark to get my teeth!"

That 1998 final is still the best teams race I have ever seen, what a fight and what fantastic win to the wildcats. Magic stuff!
