Brian Moyle recalls: I remember this night very well. Modified Sedans were on the program along with many other divisions, The pits were organised kaos every week and even worse for this event, After the last modified race a car stalled at the top of the ramp in the pits, One particular official decided to stand along side the stationary car stopping any further cars driving around the obstruction and back to there bay. There was trouble looming af a great line of cars where making there way up the ramp, the driver of the leading car shouted out to the official get out of the fu@#ing way as he drove towards this idiot, this driver chose not to stop and drove on by leading all the others. This official was so upset with what had happened he went up to Steward in Geoff Green and demanded that Greg Freeman be charged. Geoff replied to this official who was shaking with anger as well as barely able to string a sentence together, OK he replied i will give him a life time ban to Claremont Speedway, how's that, yeh thats good, Funny man Geoff Green.
