Subaru imported a batch of four-wheel-drive RX Turbo sedans and provided them at a subsidised price to some top privateers. Barry Lowe/Kevin Pedder, from South Australia, took the plunge in taking on a Subaru (Pedders sponsored) and went on the win the series in the last of six rounds, leading from Hugh Bell/Steve Ellis in the also Pedders sponsorship Group G Mazda RX7 by three championship points. Mazda started an association with the sport by providing a Mazda RX7 for Queensland’s Gregg Hansford/Dale Payne. Their best result for the year was a second in their home round, mixed with a series of did-not-finishes, but Mazda was happy enough with the exposure to think about doing what Subaru did, by using the 323 4WD in 1986. The company’s enthusiasm was also ignited by a sparkling win in the Queensland round by Murray Coote/Iain Stewart in a 323 4WD, ahead of Hansford. 1985 also saw the lack of big name drivers from previous years. Greg Carr had only two starts in borrowed cars for two failures, George Fury made one appearance in South Australia, and there was no sign at all of Geoff Portman nor defending champion David Officer. Hugh Bell was favoured to win but, although his driving matured enormously to enable him to stay on the road and finish most events, he had offs in the RX7 in Queensland and in South Australia which cost him time, and as he elected not to go to Perth, he was overtaken by Barry Lowe’s consistent outright and Group A results. Although Bell won three events to Lowe’s one he didn’t quite do enough to take victory. Ron Cremen and Wayne Bell provided some variety with their Toyota Corolla GT’s. Cremen, with Ray Temple, placed three times in the top ten and Bell, with Dave Boddy, showed that the Subarus could be beaten by producing some quick times but he was always struck by problems just when he seemed on course for a Group A victory. The only driver to really arrive at the top level in 1985 was Tasmanian Andrew Murfett, with Pip Welch, who did well in an elderly Mazda RX2 and made his presence felt as a top contender, crashing in Perth when he was in the lead. Although the year provided some close and varied competition it was as difficult and disappointing as any in recent years. Two events were cancelled, there were trouble with others, and although Subaru was present there were not enough Group A cars to provide a viable championship once the Group G cars became ineligible for national championship points, as was being suggested by CAMS. There eventually were six events in the series, with South Australia returning to Adelaide after a five-year absence and this meant there would be a round in each state for the first time. Tasmania provided the opener and was the most popular event of the year, Bathurst withdrew and was replaced by the returning Bega Valley Rally, and the Alpine Rally also withdrew, replaced by the Akademos, which was badly affected by wet weather and was shortened beyond any reasonable competitive length, but it still counted for championship points. Both the Queensland and South Australian rounds fell short of the standard required for a national event, the former badly affected by rain and the latter by accusation of jumped starts, shortcutting and pacenotes. One issue arose during the year – whether to allow pacenoting. The events in South Australia and Victoria raised the question in supposedly ‘secret’ course events and whether events are to be open to such activity. ROUND ONE: FAIRFORD STAGES - Tasmania It was the first time a Tasmanian event had been included in the Australian rally championship series, a move which, despite only 39 entries, was a resounding success, with the organisation as good as established events on the mainland and the roads said by competitors to among the very best they had ever tackled. The event was never expected to provide a classic battle for victory, and it was strange to see most of the leading contenders of recent years absent – there was no Officer, no Portman, no Fury, no Wayne Bell, and no Dunkerton. But Greg Carr turned up with a replacement navigator, Mike Harker, in a borrowed Group A Datsun Stanza and stated he was only chasing points while he finalised constructing a new Group A challenger – widely rumoured as being an Alfa Romeo GTV6. The rally was based at Burnie and the two-day format included 400 kilometres of special stages run in three divisions. Hugh Bell/Steve Ellis (Mazda RX7), after years of trying and several near misses, won the event, leading from start to finish and were never headed. They scored by more than four minutes to Ian Hill/Phil Bonser (Ford Escort RS 1800) and Tasmanians Andrew Murfett/Pip Welch (Mazda RX2) two minutes further behind. The new Subaru RX Turbo scored its first Group A victory in the hands of Barry Lowe/Kevin Pedder, who finished fifth overall. Group A cars took half the top ten placings. 143 There were several other quick mainland drivers in the field, including Peter Glennie (ex-Murray Coote Datsun 1200), Jon Waterhouse (300 horsepower Mazda RX2) and Gregg Hansford (Mazda RX7). The side interest in the field, although it was to take on much greater importance as the event unfolded, was the rather strong Group A field, including Barry Lowe and Peter Clark (both giving their Subaru RX turbos their championship debut, Rex Muldoon (Toyota T18, Ron Cremen (Toyota Levin), Jim Middleton (Holden Commodore V8) and Rob Worboys (Ford Laser). At the end of the first division at the end of daylight on the first day Bell was leading Carr by 59 seconds, with a further 36 seconds to Murfett. Hansford wrote off the RX7 in a high-speed collision with a tree, well above ground level, Hill was struggling with a puncture and the clutch of Jim Middleton’s Commodore failed – luckily it was the last stage of the division and he and navigator Jon Thompson were able to push the car to the end of the stage and effected emergency repairs. Ron Cremen/Ray Temple – Toyota Corolla Sprinter At the start of the action on Sunday it was a foregone conclusion that Bell would take his first championship event. Hill moved ahead of Murfett and began to apply pressure on Carr when the tailshaft failed on the Stanza and the crew could only stand and watch as Hill roared by into second place. A local crew, Andrew Lawson/Paul Kettle (Datsun 1600) moved into fourth place, after being 13th at the end of the first division. Barry Lowe hung onto the Group A leadership ahead of Ron Cremen and Rex Muldoon/Noel Kelly (Toyota Corolla) and Peter Clarke/Wayne Kenny in the Subaru RX Turbo. A total of eight Group A cars completed the event, many embarrassing the more powerful Group G machines. So, Bell and Lowe (although fourth outright) led with 20 points each in the series, being awarded equal points for Groups G and A wins. 1 Hugh Bell Steve Ellis Mazda RX7 G 236:57 2 Ian Hill Phil Bonser Ford Escort RS 1800 G 243:19 3 Andrew Murfett Phillip Welch Mazda RX2 G 245:24 4 Barry Lowe Kevin Pedder Subaru RX Turbo A 255:34 5 Andrew Lawson Paul Kettle Datsun 1600 G 258:59 6 Ron Cremen Ray Temple Toyota Sprinter A 259:28 7 Rex Muldoon Noel Kelly Toyota Corolla A 259:32 8 Peter Clark Wayne Kenny Subaru RX Turbo A 260:02 9 Jim Middleton Jon Thomson Holden Commodore A 261:24 10 Guy Dunstan Terry Bracken Datsun 180B G 262:16 144 ROUND TWO: WESTERN MAIL RALLY – Western Australia Making his now cameo appearance in the series, fives time national champion driver Ross Dunkerton provided Subaru with its first outright win in an Australian Rally Championship event when he won the Western Mail Rally in a Subaru RX Turbo, with Steve McKimmie as navigator.

Colin Bond, long time Holden Dealer Team Driver, winning three Australian Rally Championships in four years, resigned from the team and joined Ford to race with Allan Moffat in a determined bid to win touring car supremacy. Bond’s decision to go with Ford had other benefits. His rally expertise was immediately snapped up and, with Canberra’s Greg Carr, the Ford Escorts burst onto the national rally scene with sensational wins in three of the country’s major rallies.

  • DULUX RALLIES 1971 & 1972 a History
    DULUX RALLIES 1971 & 1972 A History Conducted by AUSTRALIAN SPORTING CAR CLUB LIMITED COMPILED BY TOM SNOOKS – April 2019 FOREWORD START OF DULUX RALLY – 1971 I’m a little hazy about the start of the event but I recall in 1970, after I moved to Sydney from Perth (July), I lived with Allan Lawson for some time and he was talking to the Promotions/PR Manager, Roy Waters, of ‘’Balm Paints’’, about an event to promote the company’s upcoming name change to ‘Dulux’. Research showed that the first group to promote to were car repair shops, refinishers, etc, as the company produced a large range of automotive paints and lacquers. It also showed that the most effective way to carry out a promotion was through motor sport, as the operators and workers of the repair shops and refinishers were interested in the sport, and hence the development and conduct of the first true ‘Road and Track’ event in Australia. Allan Lawson was the Event Director for the 1971 event and was also the Event Director of the Southern Cross Rally (1969 to 1971). Both events were conducted under the auspices of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) by the Australian Sporting Car Club (ASCC), of which John Keran was President. Allan invited me to be the Event Administration Manager, and Allan Horsley, Promoter of the Oran Park Raceway, the Race Director. John Keran Allan Lawson Tom Snooks Lawson moved to Queensland early in 1972 and I took over as Event Director of the Dulux Rally, and also was appointed Secretary of the ASCC.

  • 1 Modified: Cars, Culture and Event Mechanics Glen Robert Fuller Doctor of Philosophy
    Modified: Cars, Culture and Event Mechanics Glen Robert Fuller Doctor of Philosophy - Cultural Histories and Futures University of Western Sydney 2007 © Glen Robert Fuller 2007 1 Dedication I dedicate this work to my parents, Robert and Jenny Fuller, for allowing me to make my own mistakes. I have made plenty of mistakes but this has allowed me to find my own challenges in the world. They supported me through every challenge and without their support this work would not be possible. My brother and sister, Paul and Clare Fuller, have supported me with a critical strength that only siblings know and helped me cope with being away from my family. Every time I returned home, I felt like I was returning home. I thank Samantha, Kirsten and Amanda for surprising me with love and life. They were burdened with my distracted solitude and yet all gave their love with an impossible grace. Samantha taught me how to compose myself in a gentle manner and accept change. Kirsten helped me grow up and made me realise I was actually living in Sydney. Lastly, when lost in the anxieties of work and relationships, Amanda forced me to accept the flaws and responsibilities of being only human. To all my other friends, particularly those I correspond with through weblogs, the other postgraduate students from the Centre for Cultural Research and Cultural Studies Association of Australasia, and my old friends from Perth, thanks for keeping the world sane. For all the car nuts who allowed me to be part of their scene, I thank you.
