Great video. RIP Peter Brock and John Harvey, thank you for the memories. Definitely 1982. This car won Bathurst in both 82 and 83. Sold a year or 2 go for over 2 million from memory. How about the A9X that parked behind the guys?. Cheers

PB competed in the drag racing nationals, at Calder, in the A35 Sports Sedan in his early racing career.

This was just after the homologation of the SS when the Commodores gained 80 horsepower with the big valve CNC'd heads and had also lost around 150 kilos in minimum weight. Bob Morris' car would have also been at least 50 horse power down on Dick Johnson's Tru Blu.

hah yeah ! back in the day they used to pay me a few bucks a month. Imagine if I hadn't of given up on it. I'd be famous, pity I don't want to be famous :p. I reckon I should try and get to 1000 subscribers since the 500 I have are probably all dead and I wont be losing them :d

Last year I was looking at an upload I have of John Harvey in a drag race at Calder and noticed he had commented on it many years before and I'd never seen the comment. He died before I replied.

@kingsalami69u i do belive they just said 12.6 for the quater... it looks short but its 400m.

@trevorwinton I wonder if this is actually 400 yards instead of a quarter mile (440 yards). From this website www.whichcar.com.au/features/holden-vh-group-3-vs-peter-brocks-vh-05 under the heading faster and faster I found this In a promotional event the day before at the 47th Australian GP, Peter had recorded 12.30sec for the 0-400 yards on the Calder drag-strip and had beaten the Bob Morris/Alan Jones Falcon in doing so. In the video they say Brock did a 12.69 second quarter. 0.39 seconds for 40 yards, that's slightly over 100 yards per second, I don't think that is possible. So to me it seems for Brock they have maybe included reaction time of 0.39 seconds in the time. I reckon Brock car can do quarter mile in very high 12's or 13 seconds flat. Page 31 here www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/bathurst_program_1983_index Shows 0 - 100kph in 4.86 seconds, 0-160 kph 9..99 seconds and 13 seconds for 400 m What are your thought on this ?

@PHILPOP2 17 жыл бұрын

12.69 sec is not bad for a naturally aspirated 308 commodore

shows how much more development brocks car had. and his wins arnt all that great towards the end when you look at how much better his cars were (against priv enterd low budget teams) and how much money was avalible to develop with. still a very amazing driver but nothing godly.

Lots of moaning and excuses from the Ford fans in the comments - just accept that you got beaten this time...it's no big deal.

@dj17q 15 жыл бұрын

To all those 'real' racing fans from my time, you'll agree with this. The 351 in Morris XE is 'down' in power - not properly developed and will never had the chance against the fully sorted HDT 05 car or even the Re-Car Commodore. If it was Dickie Johnson in his beaut TRU-BLU XE, the result might be alot different. His 351 has abit more 'oomph' after several years of good racing. Just saying how it is so be nice to me!!!!
