In the pre-chase days, guys like Russell Stenhouse used to do insane speeds down Conrod during the Flying 1/5th.
The Flying 5th started up near the Bathurst Light Car Club rooms, and was a 1km windup, 200m of timed section, and jump on the brakes, throw out the anchors, release the parachutes to pull the cars up before Murrays Corner...
Any old BLCC members who post here remember what speed he did in about 1983 or 84 - I would have only been about 9 or 10, but I somehow remember a speed of around 300kmh in a road-registered Torana?
