Spot on Phil. That was the old Pit area adjacent to the 'Start / Finish line. It's a shame Catalina closed down. Excitement plus to watch the races as a spectator from most vantage spots, you could virtually see all the track action. It was also a most challenging track for the drivers.



Max Stahl's early model Holden at Catalina Park, Katoomba.


It's hard to believe that Leo Geoghegan held the lap record for years from 1966 in a Lotus 39 at 55.7 seconds. Wow.

From memory, I think it was Lex Davidson who had been driving Sir Gawain Bailee's 2 door 7 litre Galaxy when he put it through the fence at Sandown.
