These were the best days, no b/s excessive parity. 4 extremely different cars and all very competitive.

I spoke to Gentleman Jim Richards recently and mentioned you guys and he was very appreciative of your work in preserving and sharing this wonderful content

[@Super100MPH]

Thanks Kenny, we are humbled.. Jim is one of the major reasons why we do this, he's not called "Gentleman Jim" for nothing.. a great man who always had the time for minions like me, as most of them did from that era.. again thanks for your comment

Gotta love George Shepherd standing on the grid having a smoke

[@Pablo668]

I can't imagine what it would have been like trying to get that Falcon around a track in those conditions.

Good old lakeside

[@nickraschke4737]

Dick Johnson was a fantastic driver.

[@fordj7516]

bloody legend

[@nalhcal27031984]

Racing sure isnt as good as this anymore! Keep these videos coming!

[@darrylkelly7958]

I think the current commentary team can learn something from this telecast, ie, you really don't have to talk continuously, its ok to take a break and not say anything at all.

[@markmark5269]

You're dead right Darryl. My local F1 telecast, not in Oz, added a female to the 2 guys and she won't shut the fuck up, even when the drivers are talking over the radio to the engineers, which I think is a sin for a commentator, and now the 2 guys who weren't too bad before, feel they need to keep up with her.

Amazing there is an Escort in the field!

[@Holden308]

When you see photo's of the cars in books or on the internet, the Bluebird looks like a bigger car than it really is. But when you see it next to Dick's XE Falcon you can really see the size difference between the two cars. The Nissan and Mazda's really were the lightweights of the Group C's last main contenders.

The best

[@simonkevnorris]

Thanks for posting this race and all the other videos.

[@Dave.S.TT600]

awesome

[@scarto3887]

When racing was for men with huge jacobs.

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

Richards is blocking that's why fury got so far away soon as Johnson passed Richards and opened up a big gap strait away Wich says the falcon is the fastest and best car driver combination hence why Johnson won the chamionship

[@desklupes]

Why wasn’t Brocky in the 05?

[@fordfan1au]

As heard in the commentary Brock was in France contesting Le Mans

[@christineayres7199]

Proper motor racing , modern cars are boring compared to these old Falcons and Skyline GTRs

Hi, I'm a student filmmaker from Brisbane. I'm currently making a short documentary about Lakeside Raceway, and I'd like to use parts of this video in the film. Who might I need to contact and how might I contact them to discuss getting permission to use this footage?

[@natelasaede8296]

Did you ever finish making your documentary ?
