[William Dale Jr]

James Hardie Building Products AMSCAR Series
Round 3 (25/6/1989)

Circuit Length: 1.946 km

This meeting wasn't broadcast, so there's not that much I can tell you about it. A couple of things I do know is that this marked the reappearance of the Lansvale Smash Repairs Commodore. Ashby and Reed struggled to get a handlen on the new TWR-developed car, unable to get it to go as fast as the car did in the old trim. So what did they do? They reverted it back to the carburetted, HDT version of the VL. Also, this meeting saw the return of the ex-JPS, ex-Brock BMW M3s, now in the hands of John Cotter and Peter Doulman.
