[@Brokeclub]

Rx7 for sure ❤

[@SmokeyLabo]

[@girlsblouse7866]

Alfa Romeo GTV

[@SmokeyLabo]

@ super underrated car 🔥

[@Danielsmith323_]

Can’t beat brocks holden 👍🏼

[@metricstormtrooper]

Thanks for posting this, I really miss Australian touring cars, there's so many different cars and capacities, "Supercars" ruined Australian motor racing.

[@SmokeyLabo]

I’m glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching! I agree this racing was amazing to watch, always so much action 🔥

[@Pablo668]

This was a great time in Aussie touring car racing. Lots of different cars out on the track dicing away.

[@SmokeyLabo]

For sure! So much variety back then 🔥

[@peterhawkins4612]

I was a keen watcher of the atcc in the mid to late 80s was a highlight of the week. V8 commodores, BMWs, turbo Nissans, rx7 and a few others good variety of cars drivers and budgets.

[@SmokeyLabo]

@@peterhawkins4612 such an awesome racing series and so awesome to watch! Great having a range of cars, always something different going on 🙏

[@michaelandrew4488]

Those Nissan Bluebird TURBOs were a favourite of mine back then - Fury was a great driver too.

[@Fantomx7g6]

Mine too...they were what got me into Nissan's and especially TURBO'S....I've owned my R32 GTR now for just over 25 years and will NEVER Sell it

[@Guts990]

I used to work at Morgan park raceway and I saw the turbo Nissan's and the RX7 plus many other old original race cars at historic events there, still some of the greatest race cars ever built

[@SeeBird686]

Owned a 12a powered `78 RX7. Fastest car I ever owned on a straight or cornering. Speedo only went to 180km/h. 6000rpm in 5th and still winding up when the road got too short, by then the speedo needle was nearly back at 0. Wish I hadn`t sold it. Worth a lot now,,,,

[@michaelandrew4488]

So sad to know that Alan Moffat (85) isn't well. In 2019, it was reported that Moffat was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and had been moved to a specialist healthcare facility. Bob Jane (Died: 28 September 2018) and Peter Brock (Died: 8 September 2006) are both gone . Nice to know though that Dick Johnson (79) , Murray Carter (93) and George Fury (79) are all still with us.

[@SmokeyLabo]

Sad to see everyone getting old, Peter brock was gone way too early, such a legend

[@harrisionstan3773]

Agree. Never a Moffat fan, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. (bar Putin) I've seen it rob family members of everything

[@Steveaustin007]

This is Round 1 ATCC : 1983 Therefore the 12A engine was being used: the 13B efi was approved by CAMS for the endurance series.

[@SmokeyLabo]

My bad Thank you for that 🙏

[@markc1456]

Sandown 500 was first race with injected 13b! It was approved for all races

[@Steveaustin007]

@ yes - that sandown 500 which was September : was apart of the endurance series as I mentioned. CAMS HOMOLOGATION from the start of the Endurance series . The endurance series-1983 was Amaroo park : Oran Pk : Sandown and Bathurst . Surfers Paradise and Adelaide. The cheating back then is something people either aren’t ready for or don’t want to believe . Corruption like everything - unbelievable.

[@PaulMark1962]

I have a signed photo of Moffatt car from when I worked at Dandenong Mazda, we delivered a fuel pump to him at Sandown.

[@SmokeyLabo]

@@PaulMark1962 that’s an awesome piece of memorabilia to have! 🙌🏼

[@rodfonda3248]

Old bloke here ,,I love my VK 355, Ive had since 1995,,can you blame me lol

[@SmokeyLabo]

Awesome car to have! No wonder you love it 🔥

[@rodfonda3248]

@@SmokeyLabo Cheers mate..awesome times for Aussy motor racing,,appreciate the vid,,great memories

[@jimbrady58]

When Touring Cars were actually interesting. It would be great if Supercars could explore a formula that could deliver racing like this.

[@SmokeyLabo]

@@jimbrady58 so good to watch back then 🔥

[@nblake101]

Brock picks up 5 places in the one lap. Greatest Australian touring car racer of his time.

[@SmokeyLabo]

He was flying 🔥

[@ClwnJuNkY]

I sooo want this body kit for my rx7

[@610SSS]

My fave was Fury in the Bluebird.

[@RMinOZ1]

HEHe..... Brock recons gearbox blew....but at end of convo he says engine was red hot. Moffat always said RX7 was super reliable ...and in that heat an RX would be HOT !

[@SmokeyLabo]

I do find it quite crazy that a small little rx7 kept up and battled all the big V8s, super underrated race car and still super underrated today

[@Fantomx7g6]

In just 6 years after this...GODZILLA Entered the building and Destroyed them ALL

[@SmokeyLabo]

One of the best car ever built, if you haven’t checked them out already we have a few Godzilla videos on our page 🙏

[@JohnSmith-rw8uh]

Totally different rules you nong. This is the group C era. And Ricezilla didnt have it all its own way, Bathurst 1990. the VL Group A won. A great win

[@Fantomx7g6]

@JohnSmith-rw8uh Godzilla was severely hobbled towards the end you nong...huge weight added, Boost and Rev restricted...was the ONLY Reason Dinosaur Boganzilla had a remote chance

[@gnkVLCT]

Yeah good one John.

[@SmokeyLabo]

@@JohnSmith-rw8uh yet another old Australian cut up that a Japanese car come over and dominated 😂

[@no-namecrown5510]

Thought for the day: Brocky's Commodore here sold for over $2m as it won Bathurst twice... '82 & '83.

[@SmokeyLabo]

@@no-namecrown5510 that’s insane, what a car 🔥

[@shettleston9061]

6 speed gearbox with a 5 speed knob to fool the scrutineers? :)

[@AussieOutlaw]

ALAN clearly had a problem with BOB

[@samanthaharcourt3740]

Holden 🙂‍↕️

Oldschool holdens 🔥
