[fruitbatscone]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[houso10]

such a tease wish i could go back there. that era. my happy place

[Jiu72Jitsu]

Great stuff. Ive seen/heard some of these cars at the Muscle Car Masters- They really were ground shaking beasts !

[MrFiveLeeeta]

what sort of camera was it mate? and does your father still have that camera? because they'd be worth a fair bit of money today wouldn't they?

[turboed99]

@MrFiveLeeeta Yeah it probably would be worth a bit! I don;t think it exists anymore though unfortunately. Horders have an advantage in this regard! :) Plenty of old things that are now left over.

[PooManchoo2]

I swear I just saw Leo Wanker at 3:04

[Munroman]

Reschs PIlsner. LOL

[MrHaroldPratt]

Looks like another covert ad. for Marlboro to me!

[turboed99]

@2GoRightGoHolden I have wanted to know what it was as well! I have no idea. Could have been anything!

[skidmarque]

Excellent footage. loved it.

[Bathurst1ooo]

[2GoRightGoHolden]

Is there anymore footage that you could upload mate?

[2GoRightGoHolden]

Fantastic video mate. Thanks for posting it :)

[JimdiGris1]

Fantastic footage. What I really like is you get to see the speed of the cars and the awesome sounds, unlike in channel 7s coverage

[indi67]

Thanks for sharing. Loved the old Group C/A racing.

[benmotorman]

like to see this format back, gets boring just with two car makes dont you think

[GTP006]

That's awesome.  Thanks for sharing.

[burgessandbird]

I have to say that was some of the best footage Ice seen of that era. I miss those years.

[mche8778]

This is GOLD! Thanks for the upload. For home footage, this is great quality! And the sound is so good too!!

There has to be more of this kind of footage out there... I love the candid stuff, it's the best!

[DEaN0886]

[chopsey27]

Can't say how much I enjoyed that :) :) loved the start of the race really did get me in on the speed and great exhaust notes were they all sounded so different. My father only took pictures that year!!

[Zeggawong]

[rockcliche]

[lunicycle]

Awesome, awesome and awesome! thanks :)

[networx1]

[Grumpe27]

Awesome...

[turboed99]

thanks guys, glad you are still enjoying it!

AMFFforumvideo, where were you in the clip?

[PAPAOSA1]

I gotta agree with 'frombris', this would have to be the best Bathurst footage on Youtube. Theres not enough quality Classic Australian Motorsport posted.

Good work- Turboed99. .... , 5/5

[mad94d]

Awesome Video, Thanks for posting this! I loved it

5/5 + Fav.

[AMFForumvideo]

WHAT A GREAT CLIP

That was a classic!

I AM ON TV!!! LOL "First time on Television" LOL :P

It was so cool how you were able to get on pit wall at the start of the race so close to the action

5/5!

[fangofables]

Fantastic ! really feels like you're there. TV these days is so packaged there's no naturalism. This captures the speed better somehow.

[justingtsr]

great footage, even got a glimpse of my car

[CinemasHabbo]

@justingtsr your car? which 1 was it?

[justingtsr]

its the little nissan exa of Christine Gibson

[frombris]

fuckin awesome best footage iv viewed on youtube so far

[Nuncal]

Mate, this is one of the best thing's I've seen on You Tube. Some of the footage is priceless.

[grunter30]

i was 7 in 83, can still remember most of those cars on tv....great footage

[turboed99]

Glad you are all liking it! Thanks for the comments, its good to see some of that old stuff, its a bit more real on a home camera some how!

[2GoRightGoHolden]

@turboed99 were home video cameras ultra expensive back in the early 1980s?

[turboed99]

@2GoRightGoHolden

I can only assume so, my grandfather brought the Camera back from Japan after a business trip, in 1982 some time.

[ozhardcunt]

thats some great footage mate

[oddbod1357]

Hey Jos. That was great. I feel immortal.

[nightojunior]

[durdre]
