1985 HARDIE'S HEROES 

How can people give this the thumbs down, this is true racing

RIP Mike Raymond, one of the voices of my youth. Thank you @Super100MPH for posting so many of his great moments, if you were ever to produce a tribute video we'd all be very grateful!

Unbelievable to think bricks 1985 car was a full 9 seconds a lap slower than the 1984 big banger Commodore to think he almost pulled it off brocky and won this race bloody good effort best Bathurst he did and didn't win was a great drive rip brocky we still miss you champ

Those were the days when we had great selection of cars racing

Thanks for this, the channel 7 recording is gone forever.

Please try to put the race up too!!!! Thank you so much for keeping the history of the ATCC alive.

Super100MPH, keep up the great work, I'm a big long time fan of your efforts to keep these great memories alive (I was 15 this particular year). Brings a tear to the eye. I'd NEVER miss a race through this era, but sadly I can't say the same for today's premiere offering. In fact, it's the complete opposite.

Remember it like it was yesterday!

Pat Welsh tells Robbie Francevic he's done the sensational time of "228-37". "Terrible time!" he replies. I'm sure he felt a lot better when he was told it was actually 2:20.837 sometime later. Still is one of the best eras of Aussie motorsport. Loved Mike, Garry, Neil, and Pat. Also special mention to "Uncle" Doug Mulray in the years to come. He put his unique comedy spin on the Great Race. Good on you Super100MPH!

I recently purchased the Bathurst Shootouts DVD pack, Channel 7 no longer has the footage of the 1985 Hardies Heroes. Thanks for this mate!

Awesome Thank You.

boys I hope you are going to include the race at some stage … great upload .. those jags were fantastic

I got the dvd and all extras well worth buying I am a big Tom Walkinshaw fan well done jra jags

'stangs, Jag's, Commies, Lolvos... all in one event. Remeber the days, when drivers had balls (and been allowed) to race whatever they could've get from the dealer?

Thanks Guys, Another great video.

Some truly spectacular laps.

Who ever runs today’s touring car racing should hang there head in shame They’ve ruined it. I used to go to sandown and Bathurst or watch it on tv each year my mates and I couldn’t wait for Bathurst we’d watch it all day. Today I never go to a race and rarely watch it on tv The cars today are basically the same there strictly controlled in every sense. Me and most of my mates are of the same opinion We want more variety of brands not just Holden and ford so called super cars ( ridiculous name ) Bring them closer to the cars we actually buy. Not the fibre glass shell that just looks like the cars on the road. They ruined it. I’m sure the ratings on tv reflect the boring state of the the car racing today Sorry if upset’s some people but I’m not alone in how I feel. 😡😡😡

Tough weekend for the Roosters

" it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pooding"...Dick describing the Mustang

Imagine SUPER200MPH.

The Jags homologated Cosworth high lift valves (f1) technology from a few years before , which helped with the reliability and was good for at least an extra 50hp. TWR wanted to return in 1986 but couldn’t come to an agreement with race organisers. Would have been interesting , by 1986 the Jags had 500hp about 100 hp up on the Commodores.

David Parsons team car qualified quicker than Peter Brock .

Glad that Glenelg is winning!

Francevic drove around Bathurst in a Volvo & what came straight out of his mouth?. . . . "A terrible time." Well Robbie, choose something less "terrible" next time, mate!

I'm Finally First!
