There's so much more to the 'Gelignite' Jack Murray story than just cars, speed and explosions. 'Gelignite' Jack Murray exploded across Australia's headlines when he won the 1954 REDEX Reliability Trial without the loss of a single point. 'Don't take yourself too seriously and have a lot of fun along the way' was his credo. As he said, 'I engaged in various sports with various successes': cycling, VFL schoolboy football, stock car racing, hill climbing races, car endurance events, Australian and NSW Grand Prix racing, international and Australian rally driving, wrestling, boxing, hunting, ocean boat racing and waterskiing ... to name most, but not all. His son Phil Murray tells his father's incredible story from the inside. Comprehensive, accurate and frank, ''Gelignite' Jack Murray' reveals the man behind the wheel. It's a great read, not only for those interested in the history of Australian motorsport but for anyone who enjoys a laugh and has an interest in the way we were and the characters who shaped us as a nation.
