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.

Thankyou for posting this video. I love watching this form of racing and the variety of cars is fantastic and they where definitely more brave back then.

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).

@@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.
