Ahh...Braze...
While hanging with my mate Jamie Cobby I got a chance to get to know young Garry Brazier. One amazingly gifted race car driver for sure. Attacked a racetrack like not many I have ever seen. Unfortunately, his lone downside was that rather large chip on his shoulder, which led him into trouble a lot. I remember seeing him banned from the All-Stars "for life" during the Bert Emick regime. On video anyway...
He's a driver that could have ruled the world if he wanted to. Stateside, as well as Down Under. Alas, he threw it all away. Anytime I hear that he has resurfaced again, I am glad because it reminds you of, "what if...", but then he usually reminds you why he is viewed as such a pariah in the world of sprint car racing shortly thereafter.
Garry Brazier; the Austalian version of Randy Tiner. Two supremely talented race car drivers who simply "do not play well with others".
