Same, I’m so glad I was privileged enough to watch Brock vs Johnson, Allen Grice, Moffat etc. I used to love the “Chickadee chicken” Commodore and of course that old favourite the Everlast VL Commodore. I used to love you built your car you raced your car. These days it’s control tyres, control this control that.

Agreed mate. Once it stopped being Ford V Holden it has lost so much. The drivers are boring a couple of good ones. Mostert Waters are good but no one is tuning in to see anton race feeney. They have a few years to build an exciting category or its going to fade away pretty quick.

Todays racing is more luck than driver or car. The cars are “evened out” and multiple pace car interventions ensure the fields close up every few laps. I love this older racing.

The race was won by Peter Brock and Larry Perkins of the Holden Dealer Team driving a Holden Commodore. It was Brock's sixth victory, a record, the Holden Dealer Team's sixth win and the first win in the race for a car carrying a Racecam unit. Holden Commodores filled the top four positions, but only after Dick Johnson was disqualified after originally finishing in fourth spot. Brock and Perkins finished a lap ahead of Allan Grice and Alan Browne. It was the second time Grice had finished second but had yet to win. The second Holden Dealer Team Commodore of John Harvey and Gary Scott finished third, equalling the best previous performance of the HDT
