Nice to have it though. Sure sounds nice.

Quite so.
I can understand why he might not want to run it in the second race.
As an invitation car it's of limited purpose so no point in taking the risk and using up what are probably lifed components if you want to keep the thing operational.
On the other hand if you don't want to do a 20 minute race with relatively few runners (so not a busy track) and the option to run at whatever pace you want ... what else are you going to do with the car?
Track days? Test days for fun?
What options are there, around Europe for example, to run the Holden?
I would probably be quite happy just having in sitting in the garage but there must be more to Ric wanting it than making it a rarely used modern museum piece.
That said if he's happy to give it some exercise once or twice a year I'm sure many people would be happy to see it.
