1982 - CURTIN UNIVERSITY RADIO PROGRAM
|
Allan Baker recalls: Back in the days when I had half a brain, intelligence, drive, enthusiasm and no idea, I used to leave home early on Saturday morning before daylight, That was after a very late Friday at Claremont Speedway.
I began this radio program in 1982, a while later I was joined by Ken Brown and John Cardy and finally Frank Hastings.

During the life of the program we dragged many competitors out of bed to join us in the Curtin Uni studio's at ungodly times, At one point we even linked to2BCR-FM in Sydney and had competitors in conversation coast to coast. Half way through the life of the show, I left to concentrate on family issues, The program featured the best of the best in motorsport.
My favourite interview was my telephone hook up with my racing hero, the King of Stock Car Racing. The great Richard Petty had granted us (free of charge) a half hour interview, Off track interviews by some drivers came at a cost (hence not to many Touring car champions, One exception the late Peter Brock who I interviewed at Wanneroo Raceway, he even locked the door of the transporter so we wouldn't be disturbed, The program lasted with Hastings and Cardy at the helm until the late 1990's.
