Just goes to show I think HRT could have put more resources into that car and they were already stretched with how many entries they had and supported (talking the factory team here) - HRT, Holden Young Lions, K-mart and this Brock car seems to have got the left overs like any 4th Tickford car would have if we look at it from the modern age. Disappointing.

Impressive video from 1974,way to go Australia. You can tell people in America you missed a opportunity. Similar to NASCAR. As well as International touring cars

its the xu1 smoker adition

The day was miserable weather wise. I had a Kawasaki 900Z1. I bought a big port XBGT coupe after that because i wanted one and so did my girlfriend as she was wrapped! She's long gone. I've still got the coupe. Hell, don't know where she is , don't care. The coupe is fully restored.

What a excellent video brings back many memories of me and my father in Darwin back in the late 80s watching Bathurst on his workshop TV my father being a holden man and saying dick was a bad sportsman he died in 2001 and I seen the light as a panel beater and followed the ford flag interesting to see that dick Johnston started out racing holdens and was far from a bad sport. I believe this video should be shown in history classrooms in every Australian school.. how Aussie is the big XE falcon what a awesome sound that big v8 put out what a true legend dick Johnston is

Love Gossy’s XA GT Coupe

Dam Aussies are scared lol if that was in Kiwi land them Uso would get rushed and beaten to the ground lol fucks theres like 100 aussie gys lol

Judge Roy Bean... you know what I mean

I've been a Ford fan since i was 8 years old with Dick Johnson, got to meet him and Peter Brock, Wayne Gardner and Glen Seaton at the last F1 event in Adelaide 1995..

Pushing the cars off a muddy paddock onto the grid! Amazing. Love to spot Alan Moffat helping put up the team tent. Drivers today wouldn’t have to do that

Get the fobs

Hear those Cleveland 351s.

Australian's , Who follow Australian Motorsports,know Your a True Blue Oz legend ,I've been A Holden man my entire life, .......But Ford & Holden that's what Bathurst is ........we may be red or blue ,but we'll all are Fans of the greatest show on earth....at the Mountain.........God bless you Dick ........I stop watching motorsport when we lost my hero ,....05 Peter Brock ....like the day the Music died ........but I thank you Dick for those memories you gave us all........

Fuck the security isn’t Summernats for burnouts and not fights bc of a burnout

Owned 3 XA Coupes Inc a GT. Plus more. Specialist mechanical engineering business for 30yrs. Coupes were definitely the best looking and toughest Aussie muscle

Saw the black XC hardtop at a HSRCA event at eastern creek a few weeks ago, looks and sounds great still ❤

Evan Green was my all time favourite motoring journalist & race commentator. Will Hagon was a stalwart of car & motorcycle racing commentary. It was he who noticed Barry Sheene spectating a televised race at Surfers Paradise Raceway, and invited him up into the commentary booth. Barry's commentary career was born that day.

I’m a big ford fan too but brockie is a legend R.I.P

These were forging memories to a young blonde haired little aussie larrikin at 7yrs old.. I went on to buy myself one of these beautiful big Falcon coupes at 19, after drooling over them every year watching this great race.. should never have sold it.. I've missed it every day ever since...that was 1988.. worst decision of my life..LOL

I found his family plot with his memorial. Matchbox 05 Commodore. I make sure to give it a wash when it needs it. 😊

Supermarket music spoiled the video 😋

What a dog act from crowd control

Total respect Dick,from a diehard Holden fan.🇭🇲

Looks like they need security to protect the people from security.

smallest croc in australia

Where's the coward punch laws.....

Wonderful! May I ask the address?

Dick, my aunty from Redcliffe, supported you, and I fell in line as a Ford girl. We were watching you on the tv.. you were way out in front in you Tru Blu XE ... that that fateful rock. We were both devasted. Since then you have climbed back, after each fall. You ARE a legend. Many thanks for allowing us in to your world. ❤❤❤

Get Australian security gaurds that might help instead of these gutless wankers who like 10 on 1😎

05:07 guy in the green was being the least provocative of the crowd! hands barely rased above hip height that gutless dog assuming the role of "crowd control" on the other hand... what a maggot

Where is this place ? Is this a hotel ? What is the name?

Turned to shit close it down!! Too many fk wits!!!

You get what you give.

Cultural enrichment

Wad this the most recent summernats?

I don't know why our kiwi and island brothers bother do security for this, gotta put up with racial abuse. Etc .. cheeky guys with liquid courage.. get someone else to do security and see what happens lol..

Another vid of the gorilla security force SUCKER PUNCH people like tuff guys…. Joke

…. And everybody just films …. Sad days. Years ago we would have stood up to that tyrant…

Goons Vs Hoons Summer Nuts 2024

lol Dick said he got pole by 2.5 seconds - truthfully it was 0.4 4 tenths…… No good building the fastest car if you don’t finish.

they are not security.... *they are thugs in uniform*

The three guards who hit the young bloke at 5:30 need to go to prison.. with their punching and kicking criminal mates. I suspect sponsors for Summernats next year will be few and far between. Who wants their brand associated with this sort of criminal behaviour by security guards . Shame Summernats shame.

Aaaah shuddup with the 'crowd control's crap lol yes they were there to do a job, failed miserably & will no doubt get free flights back home via Christmas island! But at the end of the day... The drink rednecks started it, thought the could get away with hurling abuse via a drunken pack mentality.... And the learnt the hard way that sometimes people will hold your mouth accountable 😂😂😂 Good on the boys for handing out life lessons, but back to the islands you go lol

That situation could have ended up really bad for those crowd control guys, I'm surprised it didn't escalate

I wonder how many securities will be deported back to NZ.

Address please

After rewatching seeing the herd mentallity calling the security getting things thrown at them, the crowd calling to escalate the situation im not suprised that they became violent. Also to see a crowd of australians at a car meet purposly escalating instead of trying to defuse the issue before it becomes a fight makes me feel so distant. If thats how Australians act at a car meet i dont want anything to do with those scumbags. To think the Anzacs left their loved ones to kill or be killed fighting for our freedom that allows us nice things like a car meet etc and this is how Australians behave and treat eachother its so dissapointing.

Security have similar attitude as police during covid. Public are just punch bags.
