This crash actually ended Bob Morris' career, he just didn't know it then. He broke a bone in his inner ear and had problems with his sense of balance, so much so that in later races he was often car-sick. It took doctors ages to work out why.
Yes, She was actually more famous as Christine Cole, and was fairly newly Chris Gibson at this time. She did this by marrying Freddie Gibson of course.
1981. The camera's missed most of the action because back in the "old" days the cameras or recording of the cameras was switched off during commercials. This was Dick Johnson's first victory at Bathurst with co driver Rusty French.
Hi ejwagon, probably just a brainslip as you typed but it was actually John French who partnered Dick to this first victory. No real bad injury in this pile up but Gary Rogers had a bit of eye damage from the sudden stop. He had a partly detached retina if I rmember correctly.
yep, you're correct. Rusty french was another australian driver. I got my French's all mixed up. If you believe rumours, the Johnson falcon was loosing gearbox oil and would not have lasted to much longer. DJ has always denied that one.
cheap car!

Was this 1983? Getting older and the old brains not working today. Dick Johnson was declared winner is that correct?

I remember watching that that race, cheering for Dick. Bob Morris was eating into his lead big time every lap, before the crash.
