You sponsored a Bathurst 1000 winner..

Im not big of Aussie Motorsport but that’s the pinnacle here. That’s our Monaco.

To be fair to your Aussie Densitron MD, sponsoring the Olympics was probably out of budget even with what you gave him. Sydney was the second games where it was just multinational sponsors after the yanks did it with Atlanta. Then the IOC and FIFA started running the same playbook.

So it wasn’t the worst call but that was also the peak of Australian sport.

We had Pat Rafter winning majors in tennis. Dominated cricket and won the 1999 WC. Mick Doohan dominating in MotoGP. Golfers winning. The Wallabies were actually good. Luc Longley was starting Centre on the Chicago Bulls second threepeat then Andrew Gaze won with Spurs in 99. Occy won surfing WC. Oh and of course the Adelaide Crows were winning in AFL which made it feel even better 😂

Hard to find a good cheap sport to sponsor back then. We were winning everything.

2 years ago you could have put your logo on Oscar Piastri’s helmet for 20k Dollarydoos - opportunities like that are rare.

Your MD did well to back a proven winner at Bathurst.

Shit, I never knew that.

We thought he just wasted it 😂

I’m Facebook friends with the MD, I’m messaging him now 😂

Your MD backed him when he went independent and likely wasn’t going to win, but they would have still covered him on TV as a previous winner.

This sort of thing makes me wish my Dad was still alive to tell.

He would have enjoyed knowing that 😁

No doubt that would make it much sweeter

But consider the gift to you to learn the impact he had in his time on this planet which you didn’t even know - most people aren’t going to discover such monumental things their dad did like this, years later.

That is in itself pretty special.
