Quoted from Racing Car News: July/Aug 1981 The 20 years Edition 1961-1981 - Volume 1, Number 1 and 2

Des White report of the Lakeside meeting (meeting hosted the final round of the Touring Car Championship)

In an earlier race, the feature racing event saw Terry Hook in the Lola beat Ivan Tighe (Chevron) and Ian Bland (Cheetah) - an 8 lap race. Hook scored fastest lap of 53.4.

"RaceAbandoned"

"The cars returned for a short one late in the day, and Bruce Allison returned to his former CHevron, by courtesy of Ivan Tighe. Allison was set to enjoy his first race in three years and as both cars left the grid one could sence trouble.

Hook got a little twitchy under power and both eased off a fraction to avoid a side swipe, then the power was on again, both side by side in the Elbow. They might have touched, possibly did not, but Hook had nowhere to go, putting the Lola on teh inside gravel. The big car regained the bitumen and teh great hit of power shot him across the track and into the bank of old tyres. Hook once again had to be cut from the wreckage. The race was abandoned."

The following photo by Brier Thomas was included in the report:

"Tery Hook's Lola. The race was abandoned. Hook suffered a broken leg and had to be cut out of the car"
