To anyone who doesn't already have it. Get the current issue of Australian Muscle Car Magazine (Issue 54).
There's an 18 page write up on Tony Edmonson and the Alfa.
Great reading! :D

Agreed. I was amazed that he only competed in one Bathurst.
(Current issue of Racer has a write up on the Barnes Pontiac too)

I agree also, a terrific read. Good to see Sports Sedans featuring once again in the Muscle Car mag!
I remember being there at Surfers that day in 1979 as a little tacker, when Edmondson and Ward came together and seeing the black smoke rising into the air after that huge shunt.... Scary, scary stuff.

Yeah quite a story, never knew that Edmonson was so badly injured from that crash. Looking at the pics of the wrecked Alfa it is amazing that he survived. Must have taken a lot of courage to come back from that and then go on to win two championships.
From reading the interview he seems like a humble kind of guy, rightfully proud of what he accomplished but not caught up in the hype. Pity this attitude is no so prevalent these days in some other categories!!
