After All He Did For Them; F*cking Yanks Have No Respect For Anyone, And No Appreciation!!

People forget 1982 was the year BROCK was disqualified for cheating using illegal parts for 6 of the ATCC rounds and CAMS moved on that scrutineer in time for the endurance races.

That was the influence of his wife Bev that got him mixed up with all that new-age crystal nonsense.

if i had a VL Director i would want the polariiser😁💪💪🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲

gonna say itvagain , all the nay sayers of the new era of this day and age of Australian top notch car racing. lots of views here , not many likes or subs? bunch of arseholes,

They muted your sound the bustards.

Team must have been so tired!

Car conked out during race!

Wilko was a bloody good commentator!

Makes you want someone to invent a time machine!

This doco makes you sentimentile for a very different, simpler, non p.c 80's!

They were beautiful days

In 1980, Australian's donated $72,000 to Dick after what happened at Bathurst. Edsel Ford II, then boss of Ford Australia, matched it dollar for dollar giving dick a windfall of $144,000 to build a new car and be able to race. He repaid the faith by winning the ATCC and Bathurst in 1981. Dick would add another 4 ATCC's and 2 Bathurst's by the time he hung up the helmet.

Brock's Ego made him think he WAS HOLDEN...he even thought he actually BÙILT the Car's...when all he did was Stick plastic bits and bolted other bits on a Car that was already Mass Produced...I'm almost certain he thought Holden would fold without him...he was WRONG

That 05 HDT Commodore sold for $2m+

A shame there isn`t more, it was just getting interesting.

MAMMOTH EFFORT!!!!! A TRUE Blue Aussie Battler, even in tough times he Never gave up!!!!!!!!!

Wow what start to Trouing car Masters for 2014

Biggest roll over in South Australia in ever seen

Sorry Jamie Whincup unlucky number 13

Your on the money, and with HSV + GMH coming to contractual terms very quickly and smoothly seamlessly in essence continuing on as if it were a relatively minor bump bringing enhanced models to the public compliant to all bodies. The left field media regarding Peter Brock being vegetarian, crystals, pyramids, meditation whirlwind they continued on with night after night focusing on implying he had fallen out of the crazy tree branch by branch. This turning on Brock a national hero so quickly and unbalanced with a GMH HSV bias makes you wonder. I was a major Ford fan back then loving the Hardtops and remember it clearly thinking the enemy Brock had been hard done by at Holden with the distinct feeling there had been some head office corporate and engineering departments executives that had turned the knife in Brock having had their individual noses out of joint from Brock's direct nature or jealousy for his public recognition when they were running the race teams collaborating designing & building race cars when Peter was the major highly succesful poster boy for Holden 🤔.

It was such a dog we should have left it chained to the fence! (Kevin Bartlett)

Sorry Jamie Whincup unlucky number 13

By the time the Director was released, the IRS setup was the issue more so than the Polariser (ADR compliance being what it is), so it was somewhat ironic that once Brock released the car and scuppered his relationship with Holden's, all the Directors he sold (and there weren't many) all had live rear axles.

110% genuine Aussie, he has worked DAMN HARD for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Astonauts wore nappies

Those brakes.

That 1983 25 car was the 05 car that crossed the finish line first in 1982. It's the only car to win two Bathurst races

What a man he had everything in the palm of his hand and that's where it stayed did not sellout to anyone a true legend he legacy will continue on he will always be the king of the mountain

I remember watching it live as a ten year old, dicky was and still is my hero as we were a ford family, as a little tacker I can't say his name right and it would come out as, dick dickshit lol but he was my hero

18:30 rip guys

Great video

Lol anyone with half a racing mind knows that that heep of shit ain’t going anywhere on race day 😂 crash on thurs 30 laps Sunday if ya lucky

He WAS a disgusting wife beater

Who owned was the replacement car?

Pity they didn't show the racecam footage during the race where Dick described the car, that someone had generously loaned him, as a piece of crap. Talk about appreciation. What an A55HOLE.

That really was an ugly motor car. The tyres are so fat its almost absurd. Taxis on the race track.

My god these cars look so sketchy compared to the cars today. Looks like they’re going in the wall every turn! 😂

I recall seeing Duck go off the road in the top 10. I'm fairly sure that on the grid before the start the paintwork was still a bit damp.

...shitbox ford

Great effort by everyone involved . Shame he didn't show the same in appreciation.

Dick Johnson is a True Legend That Greens Tuf XE Falcon looks and sounds incredible. The best ever!!! Awesome effort from his team to get that car built from scratch overnight!!👌👌💪💪

The Polarizer was only a smoke screen to hide what was really happening. GMH wanted full control of HDT Special Vehicles. They finally saw the market potential that Brock & Harvey had created with the enhanced performance vehicles. The split was ugly for that reason. Brock saw the potential to Export his Performance vehicles That was territory GMH hadn't yet conquered, they were exporting engine's but not complete cars yet. So for a small operation to be successful in exporting it's performance vehicles & the parent company not having yet explored that avenue you can see why GMH wanted full control of HDT Special Vehicles.
