Graham had run the car extensively over the last year, so by the time they got to Bathurst the car was pretty well sorted. This bode well for them, and both they and the car ended up with their best ever finish. | Graham had run the car extensively over the last year, so by the time they got to Bathurst the car was pretty well sorted.

Their qualifying time was no less than 14 seconds better than the previous year. At the end of the day, as Brock crossed the line in the new VB Commodore, the little Esky was 14 th OUTRIGHT, and 2 nd in class. An outstanding effort in anyone’s books! | Their qualifying time was no less than 14 seconds better than the previous year.

Graham continued to run the car at the ATCC events and other series such as the XXX 300 to varying success.As Bathurst came around the little team from Ballina were feeling confident of another good run at Bathurst, but unfortunately their run ended around lap 31. | Graham continued to run the car at the ATCC events and other series such as the XXX 300 to varying success.As Bathurst came around the little team from Ballina were feeling confident of another good run at Bathurst, but unfortunately their run ended around lap 31. | ||
