The Last Of The Big Bangers As Brock Wins His Eighth Mountain Crown
In What Was Their Final Blast Around Mount Panorama, The Big-Winged And Big-Wheeled Group C Touring Cars Produced A 1984 James Hardie 1000 Of Epic Proportions.
The Action Began From The Flag-Drop When A Dramatic Start-Line Pile-Up Blocked The Track And The Race Had To Be Restarted. Pole-Sitter George Fury In Had Set A Record Lap To Take Pole Position In His Nissan Bluebird Turbo, Yet Peter Brock’S Commodore Was Able To Capitalise On The Restart And Settle Into A Comfortable Lead.
Allan Grice’S Roadways Commodore And Dick Johnson’S V8 Falcon Proved To Be Brock’S Main Threats And The Lingering Presence Of Allan Moffat In The Giant-Killer Rotary Mazda Rx-7 Was Also A Challenge Not To Be Dismissed.
In The End It Was The Professionalism And Experience Of The Factory Holden Dealer Team That Shone Through, Brock And Co-Driver Larry Perkins Sealing An Historic 1-2 Form Finish Result Clear Of Teammates John Harvey/David Parsons.
Relive This Great Era Of Australian Motor Racing When The Big Bangers Took To The Mountain For The Very Last Time.
