Greatest Battle Ever!? Perkins vs Bowe - Adelaide ATCC '94

[@ray.shoesmith]

'AND NOW IT'S TIME TO BRING MY VOICE UP TO THE THRESHOLD OF PAIN! BUT HO HO HO BOWE GETS THROUGH and I can start bringing my voice back down to a normal level. Ho ho, gee' RIP big Daz

[@colinstewart1432]

He was great with Bazza doing the 500gp races. Thankfully, there's loads on KZbin.

[@the_road__warrior6185]

Ahh yes, The Australian folk definitely know how to Motorsport. Much love from The U.S.A.

[@hairyscary8511]

Early 90s is true golden age of touring cars more all time legends than ever, had to really earn every win

[@jamesjohnson8316]

I was very young then. But love watching old races. Sad Holden isn’t race any more 😢

[@herbmarsh8519]

2 legends doing what they love. Brilliant just brilliant.

[@BoulderBum]

Every pass, Daryl has a heartattack 😂

[@rigsey6003]

Daryl Eastlake , what a legend he was.

[@jamesjohnson8316]

Who’s that?

[@jadesmith6823]

JB... A legendary Tasmanian that knew his craft 🙏🙌

[@stevesteve7089]

Omg makes me want to go out and buy a pack of smokes lol

[@mooves12]

Gimme a packet of ciggies and a Coke.

This comment aged well.

@stevesteve7089 Buy cartons, pallets if u can.

[@beagle7622]

If you wanted really aggressive great driving, 2 drivers stood out Larry Perkins & Alan Jones.

[@stuartwhite7998]

The best years. More than 24 cars. Privateers and the pro teams.

[@simonayers8033]

Big Dazza commentating. Rip

[@JE-ti3cz]

The great Dazza commentary..

[@TheMrVicist]

It was appalling.

[@GoForItDontLayUp]

I thought it was just great! In his words. Nah but really I liked his commentary..

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

2:10 it became State of Origin like there...

[@paule4204]

His enthusiasm was great. But when he commentated on cars he was very inaccurate, he really didn't know what he was talking about. I did love when he did commentatory on the iron man.

[@chrissmith9854]

Good old days when ford was ford a holden was holden..now I don’t watch,,its dead

[@Doubledunk]

the racing is still good and best touring car category in the world, the race cars stopped being 'holdens' and 'fords' many years ago anyway bar the shape of the car

[@jeffestrada6857]

Thats for sure. Touring cars used to be the best. These days motorcycle racing leaves this crap for dead

[@THEROADSMITH]

Actually in those cars the holden had a ford diff and wishbone ford style front suspension. Most of the holdens had chev engines. And even Larry has been on KZbin explaining how he had his own “special” engine blocks.

[@R34GTRR35]

I agree it’sucks balls now what’s the point

[@paule4204]

@@THEROADSMITH they still were Holden blocks. He just "improved" the castings. He was also getting more out of them then the chevs. Hence his higher top speed at Bathurst in that era.

[@cumminsfj4586]

Great battle, thanks for uploading.

[@batoff01]

Great scrap JB & LP

[@ripme6616]

My 2 all favourite drivers

[@TestAccount-uu9vp]

I feel like a pack of winny reds, dunno why

[@subparadventures2876]

Peter Jackson’s lol

[@bluespig1]

The motors that Ford were using for racing that series were superb.

[@dmystify1381]

🤣😂

[@nathanielmckechnie7896]

I would love to see the current supercars run on the grand prix circuit

[@jimclarke1108]

Very interesting racing

[@26TptCoy]

1:03 lol ... commentator got his balls caught in the fold up chair lmao

[@ripme6616]

That's big Darrell Eastlake for you.. did you hear him commentating the State of Origin

[@jadesmith6823]

Imagine the legendary late Dazza Eastlake on the gear 😳🤣 Vale ❤️🍻🙏

[@JossRickard]

Shame this edit missed like 80% of the battle between JB and LP

[@simeonorive145]

I didn’t appreciate these race cars at the time to me they were just hotted up taxis. All these years later I wish there was still an auto industry in Australia and that real production car shells were used to build race cars. I have always been more interested watching historic race events everything eventually becomes historical if you live long enough.

[@yt.personal.identification]

I miss this track

[@camerongreenwoodcrampakacgc.]

Greatest battle ever indeed.

[@hellohello8556]

Nailbiter. Great days for Australias racing. 👍

[@grantmiller6570]

When Supercars were great.

[@weburnitatbothends]

Awesome shit, reminds of McLaughlin in the Volvo vs Whincup in the Commodore in 2014

[@mariusvanniekerk3061]

Magic...

[@bringtheseo]

Daryl Eastlake, the best commentator Australia has ever had.

[@no-namecrown5510]

Imagine the Group A cars being Group C.... widebody kits and big wheels...

[@lot6129]

Never going to beat last to first, well done #11

[@Saffsa]

Ford falcon rear of grid after Engine change Morris and some young gun 2013 or 14 or so

[@scottallpress3818]

Is that Brad Jones with big Darrel in the commentary box ?

[@jamesjohnson8316]

Shout out to the main commentator 🎉

[@brianhoffman4861]

Like falling out of a wet one... just put it back in and enjoy the ride... practice makes perfect

[@des782]

Every time Eastlake commentatored, I turned the volume off !!

[@samgiacca8408]

❤

[@AngryTurds]

4:35. Bloody "once a year drivers" ruining everyone else's day. Smh. 😁

[@RyanHellyer]

But that was Alan Jones and Dick Johnson in that incident. Both were full-time drivers in the series at the time.

[@Niknteen1]

More charisma in Big Daz's first sentence, than a whole show of V8 Supercars listening to Crompton and Skaife.. dead set...

[@Pablo668]

Great driving. Daryl Eastlake is kind of awful as a commentator, and I love it. He is missed.

[@brianhoffman4861]

It's not that fast behind the steering wheel,,, it's the back wheels that need a good telling off... and that's why we have traction control...

[@davidaitken4157]

Masters of the wet

[@Holden308]

Not the ATCC. This is just a support race at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.

[@stivi739]

Ahh sigh..

[@stevenleades]

What an era, 70% of the drivers had no business being there and the tyre companies had no idea either. and Darryl, RIP was just as bad....Car overtakes under brakes "he goes past, that car has some mumbo"

[@blakevonsanden1099]

Golden era of Oz supercars!!! It’s gone to shit now!!! What a mess

[@andrewphillips4897]

Why on earth did he stay on the brakes?

[@jadesmith6823]

When Phill fucked up 🤦🤷🏻🤣

[@joelrobinson5179]

Who knows when Larry won Bathurst and drove back to the pits on too his car transport truck then dropped out the bottom end of his engine instead of going to Park Pherma , , any ceramic rings ? Any ceramic bearings ? Runing out of oil with 12 laps too go " Amazing !! "

[@jaasmac]

Haha! You can't be serious?...

[@joelrobinson5179]

@@jaasmac its a suggestion of fact not a statment , Mr Perkins may like too explain driving down pit lane from the rong end on too his transporter etc

[@jaasmac]

@@joelrobinson5179 Well when you consider that part of the end of race proceedure is that the top placed cars are directed by race officals straight to Parc ferme', it makes your suggested fact a little bit more like an urban myth.

[@tonymeman9041]

What In the good god does anything mean in this little thread

[@burnsiet]

Are you on crack? Are you suggesting that one of LP's Bathurst wins weren't legit? This is the biggest load of shit I have read in ages. I was in the pits in 93, 95 and 97 and I can assure you, LP drove his car to park ferme

[@kylewaddington1983]

Wet track

[@applemuffin7253]

I’ll never watch racing again The whole point was to drive it weekdays and track weekends These cars were marked to sell at dealers but they are nothing you actually purchase so what’s the point In the 60s & 70s yes over 95% was factory built with some added safety for racing You even noticed number plates in the cars when in race day !!
