Another legend passes...R>I>P., Joe Gatt

Sad to hear that my old mate Joe lost his battle last night.....Joe was there at the beginning..racing his 34 coupe in NSW and Vic in the fledging 64/65 era..went on to start Superflow Heads in Sydney, helped just about every early drag racer at his shop, along with his brother Ben, between them, they were always there at the drags, towing all around the country, and probably became best known in the old Wild Bunch days.....We would stay with Joe n Jackie when in town, and bench raced for hours...Sadly, since we quit racing, we didn't catch up that much, but always managed a phone call here n there....Joe......at 74, you gave Australia  years of your enthusiasm for racing, and all things Ford powered....I will miss you....
