racer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridracer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
This race was the first breakaway "Thundersports" event effectively wasn't it? It could have been called a TraNZam event as well on the telecast, i have the race on DVD but haven't watched it in ages.

It was a huge array of machinery, from the top Sports Sedans to GT cars to the Mark Petch-owned Merkur TraNZam car which, from memory, ran from the back of the field but stormed through.

Group A participation wise, The three Benson & Hedges BMWs of Longhurst, Jones and Morris competed, so too did Kevin Waldock in the Playscape Sierra, the Wilmington Supra...any others?
