05.01.2022 Most people will now be aware that we recently lost a true hero in the historic endurance rallying community, Gerry Crown. We thought it was only fitting tha...t we dedicate our next Spotlight to the man himself with special thanks to Matt Bryson Rally for sharing this wonderful tribute to Gerry. It really has been an incredible rally ride for an amazing character who will be sorely missed but remembered for all time as his achievements are etched into rally folklore. Read more here - https://heroevents.eu/hero-spotli/gerry-crown-rally-master/ On the last day, having just seen a photographer and driving much too fast, I cut the next corner so fine I put the front wheel into empty air! We were on the Grand Ridge Road very narrow with a big drop on the right. The car rolled down the mountain about eight times, fortunately cushioned by young saplings so that when we stopped we were unharmed. The car was upside down, every panel was deformed but having looked at the car I considered that it would still go. This was my first meeting with the famous ‘Gelignite Jack Murray’. He called down from high up on the road to see if we were all right and promised to get us a tow truck. Many hours later when the tow truck did arrive I told him he had to pull us up carefully as I thought the car would still run. He looked at me strangely but sure enough when it was pulled the hundred feet or so back onto the road we gave it a push and it started. The rally was due to end at Chadstone shopping centre at three o'clock in the afternoon. We arrived at around 9 PM and met the rally director Don Thompson leaving the restaurant. We booked in with Don and won the novice prize!
