Until 2000, Bathurst (the ARDC promoted event) was held on the Labor Day long weekend, i.e. the Sunday before the first Monday in October. The 1997 V8 race was held on the third weekend in October and then for the next couple of years in November.
After the ARDC race fell over, V8SC scored an own goal by not claiming the date and the National Rugby League pounced on it for its grand final.
