I could see them mixing fuel, which was illegal. Back then there was a young racing driver getting around those days by the name of Craig Lowndes. Well, his dad Frank was the head scrutineer back in those days. So I called Frank over, I said "Oh, just stand here
and have a chat to me for a while, Frank,
and watch a few things." So sure enough, it was proven that they were mixing alcohol in their fuel. So I can't even remember how

the office one day, said "Oh, guess what?"
"What's that?" "We've won Bathurst."
"Huh?" Said, "Yeah, Eggenberger cars have been rubbed out." "We're the winner." Well, shit, we'd better
have another party
and have a chat to me for a while, Frank,
and watch a few things." So sure enough, it was proven that they were mixing alcohol in their fuel. So I can't even remember how
