1973 - BOB FARMER OfficialSpeedcar Chief Steward Bob Farmer must rank as one of the most efficient "Chief's" in the business, Bob's word is law in the speedcar ranks and the way he enforces the rules he commands a deal of respect among competitors.
Here Bob is pictured pushing John Fenton's car onto the infield as Fenton protests, The reason for the disqualification was that JF changed a wheel after the race had started, Bob stuck to his decision and a very irate John Fenton had to sit this one out.
