Broken oil line fitting to the transaxle oil cooler, just above the exhaust at the back of the car.

Bob McLoughlin has lent his multiple Qld championship winning Commodore to Ricciardello for the rest of the round. Tony is uninjured.

TONY RICCIARDELLO’S LUCK TURNS AROUND IN A BUSY DAY AT MALLALA

Bit of a worry to see a burnt Alfa, my thoughts went back to Surfers a hundred years ago, glad the pilot didn't suffer like poor Tony E.

Would be a good reason to start on it, but Basil is never one rush into spending money haha hopefully they have Jamie Gard still heading up their engineering as he is what turned the Alfa around into the monster it is.. Wonder how much damage has been done to the Alfa tho with all that alloy panelling in the rear which doesn't like heat that much..


Re Tony pace, he is a quick driver alright, I don't think his chariot which he drove in the v8s for kellys was that great a machine so made him look pretty average (comes back to Basils wallet I think )
