Any of the Teammates nights catching up with friends from here and also "THE TEAM".

Getting a mention in Auto Action from Dick would be a good one....[crackup]

 

[4EVER17]

I can`t understand peoples favourite Dj moment would be Hitting the Tree?

But any way for me it was definatly that 1st Bathurst Win! Followed closely by Courtney taking the lead from Tr888oR.

And I guess all that will go out the window when Sj wins Bathurst in 2010
Man I hope Luffy is his co/driver.

 

[Gerry]

There are so many and each of us would have a different one for whatever reason.

'81 Lakeside for me.

 

[Bartman09]

88/89 Shell Sierra domination for me..JUST
The fact that he took it overseas and flogged the Poms with what was the fastest Sierra in the world.

 

[Poita]

Definitely the '81 Bathurst win for me.

 

[Gerry]

Flogging the Poms was pure gold Bartman!

 

[Maddog]

94 Bathurst win commentators goin for Brock all day DJR smoked em (besides when J.B let Clowndes past)

Lakeside 1981
Dick beating crystal boy with a broken front anti roll bar.

Even Holden fans were cheering him on and it was even better being there

MY Fav' was at the chase, someone slid into his door & on live TV said "OH FLUCK!!!"

Not "hitting the tree" per-se... but the part of the lap BEFORE he clipped the tyre bundle @ Forrest's Elbow....

Turn up your volume & listen to that 351 MUMBO up the mountain [bw]

[Hardies Hero]

would have to be our backs to the wall podium in 2007 for me.

To witness the last 50 laps from the back of the DJR pit and to somehow end up in the pit and on pit wall when Steve crossed the line was amazing and something I will never forget.

$1 Per View!

Yer I know! If I had a $ for every time I`ve watched that ( & Cranked Up) I would be a million air.

If " ONLY" then that would have been the altime best lap ever around the Mount.

 

[Dgw86]

my favourite dick johnson memory would have to be the podium finish for the ford 1,2,3

To Many To choose!

Outside of the poll, My favourite Dj race was at Lakeside with Peter Jackson Ford driven by Allan Jones in front of Dj for a few laps with the camera focused on Dj haullen him in for a while untill geting past just before Dunlop.

Dick was so quick in the section from the climb up and over and down through Dunlop into Hungry it was always thrilling to see. ( Just as Brock was the Quickest from the top of the loop, down onto the straight. )

Tru Blu fighting the Camaro & Brock at Bathurst was pretty good too! [sh]

That would've been 1992 Eastern Creek ATCC round, Turn 2, Lap 1. Larry Perkins looped the red VL under brakes and stove in the passenger door on the Sierra, showering DJ with glass. I was there that day, and had chuckled as the cars gridded up for that race; the drivers brought the cars around, mostly helmetless, and DJ went to wheel around LP on the way to the dummy grid. LP jinked to block the red Sierra, right, then left when DJ feinted the other way. After a couple of blocks, DJ revved the little hatchback to eleventeen and popped the clutch, arcing around the Commodore with a series of stitched black lines in his wake as the little Cosworth banged against the limiter... LP's arm came out the window with his middle finger extended, a massive grin splitting his face. A bit of fun from a pair of old hoons...

Favourite DJR moment? Hard one to answer. I nominated the 1981 win; it was a Godsend for an 8 year old Ford boy, after what had seemed like centuries of HDT domination at the time.

But being behind the DJR pit when 17 crossed the line at the conclusion of the 1994 Great Race was a pretty good moment too. We'd spent a considerable amount of time chewing the fat with Dyno after the last pit stop, behind their pit bay, and while it got a little tense with the Bowe/Lowndes battle, the inevitability of a win for #17 was never truly in doubt from where I stood.

I voted for '94 also. That EB was a rocket.

In an era of almost parity, the Stone brothers built a car that was awesome and walked away from the opposition at will.

Then that @#$%-wit of a former World Champion dismantled the best Ford teams by pinching Jim and Ross, and taking Seton's PJ money. [rt] He was more destructive than hurricane Katrina.

Absolutly Bj!

This is why I am not an SBR fan & a couple of other reasons as well.[rt]

Yeah, was a little sad, but there was a window of opportunity... Phillip Morris were keen to retain involvement in the sport, and thought they'd come up with a clever solution to maintain their sponsorship in the wake of the smoke-banning, GSR weren't interested in it, AJ stuck up his hand and said "I'll take it!", and started head-hunting. The deal he offered Ross and Jim involved team equity, which was obviously an attractive deal, and one they didn't feel they could pass up.

Of course, it didn't work out quite as well as everybody would've liked, and yeah DJR suffered mightily through the loss of the engineering resource in which they'd relied so heavily, but they put up a strong showing in 1996... Pack Leader Racing wasn't quite the sum of its parts, but nobody realistically believes that you can pull a team together in the off-season and immediately win championships... the Bathurst form of AJ's was scintillating... until she all went up in smoke, which was a fairly representative commentary on the whole thing in the end...

Wow, shows my memory aint as good as I thought it was... Well, that and it was almost 20 years ago...

I still picture it as the chase though... But I can see why, as it was atleast on a corner....
