Default Re: Motorsport legend Allan Moffat battles health, legal issues

Its very sad when people fight over a will and it happens all the time.
Frank Sinatra had written in his will "if any body fights over my will they don't get a cent"

Moffat had his up n downs like any racing car driver. In 1976 his International Harvester Transporter caught fire at Murray Bridge with his race car in side and all the spare parts also.


The fire was so intense it fused the wheels of the truck to the bitumen road surface. It was John Goss who came to the rescue leant Allan his falcon and Allan won both heats of that race in Adelaide.

In 1989 Allan turned 50 and decided to Retire. Two decades before that at Indianapolis he had seen a past hero lifted into his race car and then have his fire-mangled hands wrapped around the steering wheel where they'd stay until someone prised them loose.


Allan made a promise to himself that after seeing that in Indianapolis it wouldn't be him and he retired at 50 with out any press knowing or anybody making a fuss over him.
