SETON'S HEARTBREAK

1995 - Seton's Heartbreak & The Perkins' Fairytale

This is the moment everyone had been waiting for, Larry Perkins passing a failing Glenn Seton to lead for the first time all day. Perkins had gone from 5th with 20 laps to go to 2nd but that was where his charge seemed to end as Seton responded to the charge and set his fastest lap of the race. But on the next lap his engine dropped a valve and Perkins passed him just 9 laps from the finish. Seton's car didn't make it around the next lap stopping on the way up to The Cutting just 9 laps from home. It would have been the 30th anniversary of his Dad's win, in car 30, at 30th years of age. He had a choice of taking his Dad's winning car, (Cortina GT500) or $30,000 in prizemoney. It was not to be.
