    I suspect Holden... mainly because they tend to throw more money at racing.

    Mustang VS Camaro... might actually start to get interesting to watch again (racing cars are supposed to have 2 doors and they haven't had that at Bathurst since the 70s)

    On a more serious note. What are we going to look at when visiting the Bathurst Motor Museum now. They either are or have auctioned off all of Brocky's race cars. That was over 50% of the collection.

    Anyone remember the MC races at Bathurst? Forrest Elbow was named after a well know MC racer ( Jack Forrest .) old Jack still had some of his race bikes .
    MOTO GP on ONE 5.30pm NSW , 4.30PM QLD. hope Jack Miller gets a good ride.
    the new commodore looks like a 4 cylinder, not as good to look at as last years. I seem to see a lot of new Mustangs on the road, but don't know what a Camaro looks like these day's? they where going to discontinue Camaro, when I was over the states last. should use Corvette!!.

    Bowden owns a lot of Aust ex race cars here on the Sunny coast. He has a museum at Buderim but only opens it once or twice a year to lucky punters. He runs the "Safety in the market "courses

    Except for the Jag XJS, Chev Camaro, Ford Sierra, Mazda RX-7, Skyline, Skyline GTR, BMW M3, BMW 635(?), etc...

    I'd go with a return to production based cars, these racing cars with unrelated shells do nothing for me. The Commodore is a joke.

    Holden is dead. Long live Chevrolet.

    Start with Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. FOMOCO vs MOPAR vs GM.

    That was a 3, not a 4.

    My apologies , the keyboard was quicker than the memory, it was indeed a 3

    Arrived home from Bathurst last night.   Had an awesome time there again this year.    Sat at the chase on Sunday to watch the race and when Lowdnesy did the last lap everyone were on their feet yelling and cheering.   Brilliant atmosphere.   Must admit I was a bit choked up as he drove past.
