Great racing. That HQ was set up real nice. The drivers skills are awesome. Nice pass under brakes. Pulled away in all the right places, leaving the XY too far behind for the straights to be of any help. The winner in this case though, was the full noise Cleveland singing its song. Long live the V8!

You may not be Moffat but I've driven over the mountain in my xw at 60kmph and i can tell you at race speed i would need new undies after every corner, so i reckon its a fkn ballsy effort brother man, keep up the good work and the epic vids...

I got a hit listening to the engine screamin'n, damn a lot of spirit in the car and the driver. Thanks for posting. I lived in Shepparton right next to a Ford dealer in the early 70's saw every new model arrive, when the fruit growers had a bumper season these were purchased and driven around town.

God I LOVE this video. Watch all day. Miss so much my childhood watching Holden, Ford, Bluebirds, BMW and Camaro racing around this track. Oh that sound. And that A9X Torana in 79. My earliest memory. Raw the way it used to be and still should be now.

There's some well sorted vintage iron there. The Ford sounds terrific, even down to the occasional missed shift in the 4 speed top loader, it takes real passion to race something irreplaceable and worth more than a city penthouse flat knacker around Bathhurst. May they roar on for decades yet.

Great to see the Holden boys making a race. This video shows just how hard the XY was to drive. It wasn't so easy getting the thing into top at high speed. Going over the crests was like a hovercraft, driver hanging on and trying to feel what the car is going to do, it can even come down to a changing crosswind. Stepping out on the corners, well you just had to try and judge it, tire wear and temp, versus track grip and camber. This driver did very well to bring it home. Got a little over excited on the first lap, then managed to pull himself back together and get it under control. I think this portrays what it must of been like racing one of these things in the early seventies. The XA's were a lot more steamlined and had a slightly wider wheel track, resulting in a vastly more controllable car at high speed. Even flat out in the XA you could steer the thing and put it where you want. In the XY you would just pray to try and keep it on the black stuff.

@Aussie Pom - Sadly, you are correct. This culture cancelling virus that is spreading around the world is not only a concern but a complete nonsense. The left leaning lunatics and activists have no real interest in changing humanity for the better. They are more concerned with pushing their own dangerous political agendas by demanding that the silent majority conform under the disguise of "virtue signalling" social reforms that are designed to destroy our culture and identity. I have absolutely no idea how "injustice" can be impacted by the demands that are currently being complied with. For example, apparently chess is now a racist game because the white pawn has the first move? We, the silent majority must not allow this madness to continue. Yes, equality and equity for all is not in question but they way these radical groups are trying to effect change is absurd.

If it wasn't for the gear missing changing, THE CLEVELAND POWERED SMALL BLOCK ENGINE, would have left that's right the Kingsford and the polished bumper for DUST, ps don't get me wrong the Holden has been an excellent performer throughout the years, but 80 percent of the help for the Holden was, the good old CHEVROLET , you can thank your lucky stars really

It seems like the black Holden Kingswood had him all the way around the track and I'm guessing it was possibly due to the 350 Chevy which would probably wind up a little quicker. It also handled a fair bit better than both the GT and the Monaro. The Gt was almost floating on the humps!

Are you talking about the balls here Mark? All I can say is... Big hand! 😄. I remember as a kid (30+years ago) seeing racing from Bathurst on telly over here in the UK. Better than what we had. Commentators were tons more entertaining too. Check out our historic racing from Goodwood we've got now tho. Lots of different eras. Historic Ferarris, E-Types, minis, mustangs, Galaxy, old F1, vintage and even bikes.
@bigal305511 ай бұрын
@simontromans2748 Second that. Not that many years ago, I was watching the Aussie V8 Supercars on some road circuit. The commentators were raving about some chap who was climbing through the field and ticking off places faster than they could keep up when the camera jumped back to him. At one point, I had to engage Sky+ (as it was then) and rewind 30 seconds just to make sure I'd heard what I thought I'd heard... which I had. Out of the blue, one of the commentators very excitedly announced that "He's made up another xx places on that last lap! By the end of the next lap, we'll be seeing this cunt catching the lead pack!" That wasn't the end of it though. His commentary partner interjected with something along the lines of "Yeah, but we need to remember that he's carrying extra ballast with his huge penis, mate!" Can't quite imagine Martin Brundle and David Croft having the same sort of exchange.
