[1Holdenable]

thanks mate, wonderful stuff

[vk2afl]

Is the jumping picture a special effect or was there something very wrong with your camera/projector? Great video - just wish it wasn't flickering so much so I could see details. Cheers.

Do you have footage of the entire field going through?

[toranarama]

sorry ,I ran out of film on the day.

As you can see at the start of the 79 race I was on a flag point and I couldnt get to my car whjch was over at the Bathurst light car club, the other side of Conrod straight. to get any more film

[XXXXShelts]

Noticed Gossy and the 2 Chevs up the back, think they missed qualifying or something.

[blue1966fairmont]

[Steevels]

Thanks for this is really great, love the sound thrack at the end

[toranarama]

The sounds of a thundring V8 at the end of the film is a Racing A9X Latham and Reed torana heading up moutain straight through to the cutting from 2004

[brettma75]

gee those shots at the end of forrest elbow mate your lucky you wernt sitting there when dickie went off lol.

[toranarama]

yep, we the next flag point down from forrest elbow and I have thought of Dicks crash many times. In hindsite it wasnt a good place to film from. Now days its all concrete walls

[12121149]

Why did you fuck it with the music?????

[toranarama]

Its a super 8 film with no sound ! Would you rather hear click click click instesd ? I thought period music would be better

[ozhardcunt]

home made exhaust system! HAHAHAH!

[preedy302]

hey! that was excellent. you just made my day

[LJGTRXU1]

Thanks mate that was great!!!!!

[Kayotik626]

God I loved those days. The cars all looked different from each other. There were races within a race, Ford, Holden & USA V8's, Capri's against RX3's and Celica. No bloody Safety Car coming out and bunching up the field.

Today's Bathurst races are no where near as exciting as they were back then.

I wonder if Murry Carter will enter next year, lol.

Great footage toranarama.

[99centsred]

Those were the days thats for sure.Good stuff Toranarama! Hey Sampson 024 any relation to Brian who Peter was involved with during his career?

[drfeelgood308]
