Good job, the incident with the rock never should have happened, no wonder Dick Johnson was feeling pretty cut up about it but he managed to overcome the adversity and emerge over the years with three wins at Bathurst and five Australian Touring Car Championships.
123 Likes after ten years, that is terrible. This is Bathurst at its best and back then those camera cars completely blew me away. At the time if I had the $$ I would have bought a Celica on Monday.
I was 10 in 1977 when I started really loving the battle between Ford and Holden plus the era of absolute legands of racing i think by the The time they always had to say full name of CHRIS ECONOMAKI i think we lost 2hours off actual race footage 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers Stephen 🤠🐴🦘🐨
One - NO-ONE THREW THAT ROCK, just they didn't know it at the time. The spectator area there was simply a grass area sloping down to the track - and the rock was simply dislodged from the earth there, by people walking around. There is a concrete wall there now. So the commentators went mad - for nothing.
Im guessing car 59 is the one brock hit. two laps later Johnson hits a rock at about the same point. Brocks seems a bit defensive about the rock when interviewed.
