Jeff Freeman Tribute - Speedcar Champion

[@Wayne-Kj]

Very well done video. I was hoping it would have a better ending but those were very dangerous days in open wheel racing. Took lots of courage and skill to drive them, and even then sometimes bad luck would just catch up, just like it did this young man.

What a champion great bloke on and off the track had the pleasure to meet Jeff in the pits at Sydney Royale Speedway early 60s.Gone to early. R.I.P.

A great man in the sport he loved so much and gave so much to, the speed cars of the day were very devoid of safety aspects, not a relation of mine but a proud sharer of the name of a great sportsman.

A great video but a very sad video, thank you for sharing.

Yeah I was there too, almost 15 yo. That still with Jeff in the offy immediately followed by the empty car brought tears to my eyes after all these years, I thought I was out of tears. Some a young fella shouldn't have seen. But this needs to be seen. Thanks

Should have added I found it appropriate that a major hospital rose from the site. Good things happening eventually.

I was there that day as a 11 year old , and although the memories getting foggy , I do remember it .

Thanks so very much for your video, and your many other efforts over the years. I've been a proud subscriber to this channel under a few different name, as you yourself have changed Channel name's, I too for other reasons have changed my name, but not my loyalty.
