Part one of Forbes and Moore, where we talk to these privateer racers who are not only both ‘characters’ of the most interesting kind, but were both without doubt ‘the best of the rest’ in the Torana-era!

Starting as true amateurs paying their own costs, their careers were often parallel but they never managed to team-up, always being fierce competitors on-track and friends off-track.

Both drove cars at Bathurst with Dick Johnson - Bob shared his Torana XU-1 in 1971 finishing fifth outright and Graham shared with Dick in a Ford Capri V6 in 1976 finishing 10th outright.

Part one tells of them as drivers – Part two will follow, taking up their stories as team owners and ‘movers and shakers’ in the world of Muscle Car racing!

Warwick’s race-winning record is second to none in the fearsome Formula 5000 era! The only Australian ever to win the Tasman Series against all comers and the AGP joining Sir Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Sir Jack Brabham!

He raced against Frank Matich, Niel Allen, Alan Jones, Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt and many others. His second-by-second retelling of the horrendous crash in the Lola T300 at Surfers Paradise Raceway in 1973 that almost took his life is chilling to hear. He says, ’99 times out of 100, I should have died that day!

He happily admits to only occasionally being a Muscle Car driver in the terms of road-car-based racing cars, but if an F5000 isn’t a real Muscle Car then what is?

Before regular TV broadcasts, we relied for race reports on the written word published by newspapers and magazines.

The Australian motor racing media in the 1960’s and ‘70’s were trail blazers for today’s TV and social media ‘talking-heads’. The written word had to convey fact and emotion to the reader in a way that could be understood by the millions who read their reports and opinions.

Two of the best exponents of this ‘black art’ are Phil Christensen and Peter McKay. Now both ‘retired’ from their previous occupations, their memories of racing, drivers, cars, overseas trips to Grand Prix, le Mans and more, plus numerous controversies will keep you entertained and enlightened!

John Smith was a fiery, super-competitive openwheeler star who in the early ‘80s matched it with then-current Formula One drivers in the Australian Grand Prix run at Calder Raceway in near-identical Formula Pacific Ralts.

He is widely regarded as one of our best-ever in single seaters, but ‘Smithy’ also had a long and successful career in touring cars - in ‘works’ Toyota Corolla touring cars and then the Supra Turbo, which Smithy dubbed the ‘White Whale’.

Join Smithy and Australian MUSCLE Car Magazine founder Ray Berghouse for a trip down his memory lane, exploring the races, rivalries (and several spectacular crashes) from that section of the golden era in Australian motorsport.

Spencer Martin has a long and incredibly successful career behind the wheel, driving everything from the stunning Scuderia Veloce Ferrari 250LM in the mid ‘60s to a near-stock-standard Volvo 242 GT in which Martin and David McKay raced in the 1979 Bathurst 1000! ‘That bloody Volvo!’ as some of the other drivers dubbed it.

Spencer drove for ‘Sir Mal’ and Bob Jane in Brabham Formula Tasman cars and Monaros for Harry Firth’s Holden Dealer Team among others, but it all started with the Boomerang Service Station Holden 48-215!

Join two-time Australian Drivers' Champion Spencer Martin, for a trip down memory lane, exploring races and rivalries from a golden era of Australian motorsport.

In this unique episode, the Chairman of Chevron Publishing and founder of Australian Muscle Car magazine Ray Berghouse interviews three of the luckiest men alive - the only three people on the planet to have edited Australian Muscle Car magazine.

Beginning with launch editor Mark Oastler, moving to the tenure of Luke West and on to the incumbent Steve Normoyle, ‘Bergie’ takes these three seasoned journalists and muscle car tragics on a trip down memory (and pit) lane.

From memorable issues to ones that some wish to forget, this is a rare look under the bonnet at Australia's best-loved muscle car magazine, narrated by the blokes in the hot-seat.

Special mention also to the silent heroes that design the magazine, and wisely don't dabble in podcast appearances, art directors Danny Bourke and Chris Currie.

With a career spanning continents, decades and a myriad of vehicle classes, Sue Ransom has, among other things, five Bathurst starts, multiple top ten touring car performances and a host of drag racing records to her name in both Australia and the United States.

From rallying, circuit racing, Top Fuel drags and even Funny Cars, Sue has lived a life on the edge and as you'll hear, even survived the occasional parachute malfunction.

Join us this episode as Sue relives these high-octane adventures with her customary humour, grace and eye for detail - sharing more than a few stories that could only have come from this legend of Australian racing.

As long-time PR man for the legendary Holden Racing Team, Weissel (known to his friends as ‘Wally’) spent many years working alongside drivers such as Peter Brock, Craig Lowndes and Mark Skaife as well as the likes of Jeff Grech, John Crennan and Tom Walkinshaw.

As you might suspect, those exciting years provided some great yarns and on this episode of The Australian MUSCLE CAR Magazine podcast series, ‘Wally’ casts his mind back to that magnificent era and shares some of his most memorable moments - like having Brock ‘road-test’ ‘Wally’s’ own Commodore around the back streets of Port Melbourne – exciting stuff!
