Cannonball Run Winner's Cup

As I was walking by the TV, I caught the end of a program that showed a quick flash picture of the Strathfield Porsche that won the event.  In this website, we have very rarely used the word “I,” but on this one I am on my own.  As I sat on the step of our sunken lounge, I was horrified to hear that:

“… the race organisers did not pay out the prize money.”

The race organisers were Alan Moffat and Company or “Racecage Pty Ltd.”  They sited “legal reasons” for not being able to pay.

I remember either myself speculating, or the winners of the Cannonball Run (Ron Conrad) that were driving the Strathfield Porsche said words to the effect of, “Alan Moffat had a heap of legal fees to pay out on after that horrific crash involving the dentists.”

In the end, we heard from Ron Conrad that Racecage Pty Ltd did pay out an “undisclosed amount of money.” Ron has never disclosed the amount he settled for. $50,000.00 was the amount supposed to be paid out.
