Bathurst 1983 was a very ordinary sort of meeting for DJR. The Hardie's Heroes crash obviously ruined the whole shooting match, by desroying the Greens-Tuf Falcon, just as things were starting to look good for the team's chances. Their race in the replacement Harris/Cooke Falcon was an absolute non-event, but at least Andrew Harris was rewarded for his assistance by snaring the Rookie of the Year award for his finishing position in the ex-Barry Lawrence Commodore.
However from there on, there was little joy for either Dick Johnson Racing or Andrew Harris as a series of events unfolded in the wake of the 83 Great Race that made all concerned wonder if they wouldn't have been better off staying at home for the October long weekend that year. Can anyone recall what happened in the week following Bathurst 83?
As another little turn on things, identify the previous connection between DJR, the Harris/Cooke Falcon XE and Mount Panorama crashes. There's a couple of degrees of seperation.
