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 .
I went to race days at Warwick Farm when I was a child
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).
Absurd Gem ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@janreznak881 Too right. There was no such thing as Bluey, only Bargearse.
CAMS were happy to let 7, 6 and 5 litre motors race each other.
A lot of brown paper bags in those days.
How about the Bargearse theme music at the end
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 :)
the jane camaro had an all-aluminium 427 [ 7 litre ] engine , so it wouldnt be hard to run away
chopperking1122 1969 ZL-1 Camaro , they only made 69 of them
really???? back then an all Alloy block?
@@petermaddern3092 Jim Hall ran the all aluminum ZL1 in 1867 in the 2F for the Manufacturers championship in endurance racing, and the 2G for the Can Am. The engine became available to select customers in 1968. It was a COPO option in the Camaro in 1969 and there were a couple of ZL1 1969 Corvettes as well. The beauty of it was the fact that its weight was similar to a cast iron small block Chevy.

Hopeless- what cars were they driving?
Perhaps you prefer budgie cages with tupperware bodies, crate engines & snowflake drivers?
Sorry -I was cranky at the commentators not giving type of cars and reporting basically only the first two cars

and yet they still missed the two passes for the lead, while the camera was focusing on the boring 3rd and 4th place race
