The Sydney man not only travels to Bathurst each year for the Great Race, but on Wednesday he stood in a line for almost six hours to meet his racing idols.

"There was still frost, but I just love meeting the drivers," he said.

Pretty soon he wasn't alone with hundreds of people lined up a couple of hours before the first signing session even started.

"I'm keen to see [Craig] Lowndes ... he's friendly and he talks like Peter Brock and will have a general chat with you," he said.
