1971 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX Touring Car Challenge 

The commentator said the cars up front are under 5.0 litre and continued to give wrong, wrong wrong the whole race ,, Janes Camaro ran a ZL1 alloy 427 7.0 litre ,, The Geoghegan falcon was a 4V GTHO 351. 5.8 litre The Monaro is a 350 5.7 litre. The jane camaro was later banned and ruled to run under 6.0 litre,, it was faster with a 350, I was at this race as an 11 year old and still have the magazines from the day. Racing car news X 100+ copies.

Bloody fantastic .

Graham Howard got the engine capacities wrong for the leading Improved Production cars. Sure, for a long time since the mid-1960's the faster cars were generally Mustang V8's of 5.0 litres or less, but by this time things had changed. Pete Geoghegan's Falcon was a 5.8 litre, Norm Beechey's Monaro was a 5.7 litre bored out to 6.0 litres while Jane's Camaro was a big block 7.0 litre (though in 1972 CAMS forced him to run a 5.7 litre 350 instead of the 427).

How about the Bargearse theme music at the end

the opening music is from the tv series Bluey..starring Lucky Grilles...

the jane camaro had an all-aluminium 427 [ 7 litre ] engine , so it wouldnt be hard to run away

When men were Men and Cars were cars .....No sponsorship all over the cars No gaggle of computer specialist back in the pits analysing all the data No do I look good for the camera with the cool helmet and sunglasses...Just flat out racing on razor blade tyres with standard disc brakes and drum rears and big Holley Carburettors and standard diffs and gearboxes Ohhhhh the good old days :)

Hopeless- what cars were they driving?
