This was also the year that Allport ran in his Mazda and the Audi ran. The two photos below are of the Bond race car, and also the Greg Carr rally car that Greg ran the next year in the ARC.
1986 They again ran Pipeline and again were sponsored by Toshiba. The photo posted above is from the 1986 event.
By the way, Bond changed to #75 because that is what he ran in '87- an Alfa 75.

Thanks for that, some great photo's
Caroline O'Shaunnesy ran in one of them in Greg Carr's Alfa, perhaps that is who the photo is of?
Pretty sure the Bartlett Camaro year was different to the year Allport won
I have a JPS sponsored rallysprint from 1984 on tape somewhere, but it features a bunch of Group G rally cars (Stanza's, Mazda RX2, even a TR8), rather than a bunch of Nissan Bluebirds....
