The Australian Speedway great amassed 10 national Sprintcar titles during his decorated career.
Recorded in 2019 many fans may not realise that ‘Rushy’ is in our library.


This relaxed and candid convo remains a personal and professional highlight of Rusty’s career having captured Garry’s autograph as a young fan, something Greg has kept to this day.We also talk Speedcars, racing in the US, a frightening crash in the States and a little known chapter in single seaters that briefly took him to the UK with a loose plan to eventually get to Formula 1. Garry recently celebrated his 82nd birthday and it’s been almost exactly 7 years since we released this ep. 

Back then Sydney Speedway or Parramatta, as it was affectionately known, was still around and the new venue at Eastern Creek was just a design or set of plans.
From hair raising stories towing race cars in his early days to being inducted in the Australian Motorsport and Speedway Australia Halls of Fame…what a ride.
