1984 BATHURST 1000 - Chasing Brock

[@mickwinters8484]

I love the Lack of ads and logos within the cockpit, you can see the car, the way it should be, magic memories thank you😌

[@patricknolan1096]

The laps with Alan Grice...fantastic.

The 8 dislikes must be Ford fans. The good old days…. before Caltex Chase, sequential shift gearboxes and 308s running on lead. Those were the days indeed.

[@craigjay769]

Thank you so much for putting such brilliant footage online. Love the old races

[@pkgum6910]

At the 17 min. 20 sec. mark I could've sworn that was Paul Hogan driving car 17 who made that comment, "STICK IT UP ALL THEM HOLDENS!" Classic! 😆😅🤣

[@happivaras]

@PK Gum Yeah 😄😁😆 that was funny, cool banter under pressure. The more mainstream thing was how it was fukt on race day Not as funny Unless One IS a Holden fan👋🖐🤏

This brings me back to the 80’s was an awesome year but we didn’t expect what was coming in the 90’s

[@darryllspalding5211]

I would have told Mike Raymond to wait up a bit!!!!!!!!! Mate talk to me on the straights. Good on ya Gricey!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thesal308]

Gricey ! ☝️

[@BigBadOzBoyMark]

What actually happened to Gricey that day.......his co-driver Steve Harrington was given an enormous punt up the rear halfway through Hell corner by Gregg Hansford in the Moffat Mazda RX7. The channel 7 cameras never actually caught this incident except for the in-car footage. It happened right in front of me and it wasn't just a little tap. He had the nose of the Mazda almost planted into the diff housing of Grice's car and the rear end was lifted about 3 feet off the ground. I don't know what he was hoping to achieve as even if he passed under brakes, he would have got blown away again going up Mountain Straight.

[@Super100MPH]

Thanks for that Mark, Yeah it was a sad moment, as far as I am aware, nothing happened to Hansford. Just great to hear about what you saw and so well explained on here, gold.. Gricey & Harrington were really on the case that day, until then. Another long afternoon for me that day, again.. sigh

[@BigBadOzBoyMark]

Super100MPH Gricey and DJ could have given it a real good shake that day but it wasn't to be.

[@Super100MPH]

That's motor racing, Brock deserved his win, no hard feelings this end, cheers..

@@Super100MPH : Mid 40's Pom here. 1984 was the first year that I saw the James Hardie on the BBC and I've been hooked ever since, so many thanks for all the great uploads. Forgive me for asking, but are you an ex-racer ?

[@arconeagain]

The Grice SAAS four spoke wheel may not have helped with the wheel alignment problem. Or maybe it did, one extra spoke to hang on to. They were a nice wheel, owned one myself, would love to have it again.

[@badbudgie100]

CHAMPION !

[@PSjustanormalguy]

Aah memories .. Back when car interiors came in blue/green or baby-poo brown

[@jeffwilliams742]

Slow traffic made things more interesting

[@rosstipler8435]

DJ has a hide taking a snipe at Brock and his taking over the second team car, Dick flogs his car and they either end up stopped on the track somewhere or into a wall. Maybe DJ should have teamed up with Alan Moffat.

[@lindsaykelly2224]

Brock was no fool if he believed the polarizer worked well it worked

[@rosstipler8435]

@charlie Before you run off at the mouth get your facts straight arsehole.

[@reverseuniverse2559]

Do I sense arrogance commentary? Brocky don’t need praise from piss poor commentary he’s the “King” of racing 🏆
