I also had the pleasure of meeting Sir Jack @ Watkins Glen many, many years ago.   A very nice guy who was willing to speak freely about all his cars and experiences.

RIP Jack.

Jack Brabham was imaginative also . He ran a pair of JAP motors in his midget and a 215 aluminum GM v8 with Australian 4 valve heads in his F1 car .
