Alf Najar, Grand Prix winner at Bathurst, October 1946

from State Library of New South Wales

• Peter Kelaher said:

  There has to be a great story behind this photo! Who’s the driver? What’s the ethnic origin of the family? How did they come to be at Bathurst in 1946?

• State Library of New South Wales said:

  This is Alf Najar who won the race. His parents were from Tripoli in Lebanon there is more information on their site alhs.org.au/?p=233

• Peter Kelaher said:

  Thanks! Much appreciated info.

  Forrest’s Elbow in its original “glory”!

• Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:

  It happened in 1947, when Jack crashed on the first day of practice at the severely downhill and adverse camber left hander leading onto Conrod Straight, known variously as The Elbow, or Devil’s Elbow. His left elbow was badly mashed, but after receiving medical clearance and having the handlebars of his Norton specially bent so he could reach the controls, Jack started in the title races on Easter Saturday. In the meantime, Harry Hinton had dubbed the corner “Forrest’s Elbow”, much to the amusement of everyone (except Jack) in the pits. In the Senior TT, Jack was soon into the lead and pulling away until his Norton expired – a heartbreaking finale to a painful weekend. But at least the name stuck, and ‘The Elbow’ has been Forrest’s Elbow ever since. www.oldbikemag.com.au/jack-forrest-man-gave-elbow-sport/

  Here's a postcard from about the same time that also shows the interior.

  by Boston Public Library   The Tichnor Brothers Collection (postcard) c.1940

  
  A couple of newspaper ads for Betty's in the 1950's:
              Betty's Restaurant • Christmas Dinner Ad  •  1952
  
  
      Ad for Betty's Lobo Lounge • Miami Daily News • Feb. 4, 1957
  
  
  The American Legion held their 42nd National Convention in Miami Beach in October, 1960. Their official program had reviews of suggested restaurants and had this to say about Betty's:

  "Betty's Restaurant, 1440 Biscayne Boulevard, is
  famed for her well planned, medium-priced meals
  and the Lobo Lounge is quite the gay spot at
  night."
