It always puzzled me that the first Geoghegan car never went as good once sold to Rod, and later to Johnny. Was it missing some of the bits that the car had when raced in Aussie, or was it now a slightly tired well used up car against the newer versions?

I think a lot of people never gave credit to Red as a driver, of course, like Johnny Riley, he wasn't part of the snobby in crowd having come from a background in stockcars and old American coupes, and even though they both went well in the Lola sportscars they never got the credit they deserved, especially Red. But, the crowds loved Red, and that is more important.
