oh man look at all those exposed cuttings in the mountain, & the trees flying past on conrod, Those guys we're nuts back then..lol. looks like a lot of fun tho. Intresting to note how much the the lack of downforce is noticable down conrod, loosing traction over the bumps, crazy shit.

love how fidgety the car is under brakes at the end of conrod. I rememer those days so well. Was great. One thing i did notice, was how small that car looked on track, i remember they were considered big back then. I guess Commodores and Falcons have gotten quite large over the years.

"Not quite 100% traction on Conrod" :eek:

Holy crap that was impressive sliding all over the place at full throttle. Makes the V8's look quite sedate.

'optomised streaming' my arse... buffering for 15 seconds, play 3 seconds of video, pause and repeate until end of video. :rolleyes:
This will be my signature until Dexter Bean qualifies for a NASCAR race. Keep chasing that dream...

I love this vid, kinda reminds me of the old grand prix videos with no curbing etc.

No chase yet either, looks scary!!
