1974 - CHIEF STEWARDS RULING
Suzi Barr recalls: I can remember dad telling me, one day while he was racing at Bunbury he and another driver came under the notice of the chief steward Brian Lee, the problem was that the two dollar prize money was to be paid to the winner of the stewards ruling, so Brian Lee very much in keeping with his line of thinking nothing's a problem and not wanting to upset one of his mates, he simpley ripped the two dollar note in half, handed half to each driver and upset both his mates, Bill still has that useless piece of currency in his photo album.
