Craig Denyer | Part 1 - Tailor made for media & Gricey’s close call

Growing up in the bush and being captivated by the legends racing at the Hume Weir, including a young Peter Brock. Building a speedway car on a budget and the inspiration he drew for the colour scheme. A bit of moonlighting on the mic, and why working in the media was the perfect fit for him. How a radio station on the New South Wales Central Coast led to his involvement in a major rally, and the guns he enticed to compete in it. Dick Johnson, Malcolm Wilson and more helped bolster its status. Faxing press releases out for the Chickadee Commodore team the year they won Bathurst, and why Allan Grice almost didn’t make it to the track in time! Working in the UK for a time before returning for a big radio opportunity on the Gold Coast, and celebrity races at the Surfers Paradise Indy Carnival. Craig has a knack for storytelling, and he tells them well. Strap in for a fun conversation.
