G'day All

 

Have been adding to my Brock/Torana/Firth/GMH magazine collection and came across this gem in one of them

 

Not quite a technical road test but it certainly gives you an insight into how good Brock was at driving a hard to drive car

Even if you only read a small part of it, just read the last paragraph

I remember those days.

 

At Oran Park, Ross Bond dominated the Marque Sports Car class in the same way that Brocky dominated the Sport Sedan class. He could never get the A30 to go as good as Brocky did.
