Andrew Miedecke must have been the unluckiest guy in Group A at the time. He was a quick driver in probably the 3rd quickest Sierra after the DJR cars and yet he couldn't get the best of it. There is the suggestion that in the drive for speed he didn't have the money for anything else.
Even though i am a Ford fan, Larry Perkins Commodore looks and sounds good, the Sierra,s perform well but reliability of the turbo engine seems questionable. What the BMW M3 lacks in power can be made by fantastic handling and braking, tracks like Sandown, Bathurst etc suit the cars which have good power. Geez man at 38m.30s the Nissan tire change, that guy could have lost a few fingers! NOT GOOD!
Just out of curiosity, this is the 2nd time the 1988 Sandown ATCC round is uploaded. I know there is a bit of difference re. opening commentary but just like to know why. Cheers.
kenny8ism He was unwell for a long time which is why he stopped commentaries. Last time I have heard he is on the mend but was ordered to 'take it easy.'.
dj17q Thanks for that. Not surprised, let's just say he really did like those hot dogs. I've never seen anyone eat so many in one sitting! Hope he's better, seemed a nice guy

It is so good to see there were more cars than the Ford Falcon and Opel Omega racing.
Stunning quality, thank you for uploading.

Was it Mike Raymond that set up the fund for Dick Johnson after the rock incident??? Respect if it was

barry phillips I was riddled with anxiety watching that tire change. Glad I wasn’t the only one

I still hear him do the occasional speedway ad on radio... BE THERE!
And how many hot dogs did he eat?
Had a great voice, but not the deep knowledge & understanding of the sport required for the job.
Aus80sRockRadio Not sure about that, he was instrumental in getting the V8 Supercars up and running
