  • 1972 4 - 8 October Sydney – Port Macquarie
    Andrew Cowan/John Bryson in the Mitsubishi Galant GS – from the cover of the 1973 regulations booklet 1972 4 - 8 OCTOBER SYDNEY – PORT MACQUARIE 86 PREAMBLE Again the rally returned to Port Macquarie and it was now evident the town would be ‘home’ for the event for the foreseeable future. Dan White took over from Alan Lawson as Road Director, having assisted him in 1971. Dan held this position until after the 1977 event, and his presentation of the course each year, and the road books, was quite outstanding. The overseas drivers came in force again and took out three of the top four placings, with the outright position undecided until the last few stages. Nissan and Mitsubishi attended in full force with a number of cars and flew their mechanics from Japan. Dan White spent considerable time studying the forests and the 1972 event proved to be the most competitive of all the ‘Crosses’ run to date, with a very high percentage of competitive distance in the total distance; he also introduced longer stages than those experienced in the past. The biggest pre-event shock was the announcement that the organisers were enforcing the FIA vehicle eligibility regulations. This left the Holden Dealer Team in a quandary, for it wasn’t that all cars had to be homologated with FIA papers to prove the legality of any modifications, the Team had strengthened some of the suspension and basic structure to provide a virtually maintenance-free car for a full year of rallying. As the Team was in the midst of preparing for the Bathurst 1000, Dulux Rally and final rounds of the Australian Rally Championship it didn’t have the time to prepare another car for the Southern Cross, or ‘de-modify’ the existing cars.

  • Tasmanian Motorsport Hall of Fame
    TASMANIAN MOTORSPORT HALL OF FAME DAVID “Skippy” PARSONS (Inducted 2021) David “Skippy” Parsons started his motorsport career as a teenager, on a trials bike in 1975. He had a natural talent and won the Tasmanian championship the following year. It was to be his first of an amazing nine consecutive championships through until 1985. David also contested three Australian championships, which in the 1970s and 1980s usually attracted fields of nearly 300 riders from all over Australia and overseas, finishing ninth in 1985. While excelling on two wheels, David was also starting to make a name for himself on four wheels, winning his class in club days in his father Graham’s Holden Torana SLR5000 L34. He also set a course record at the Highclere Hillclimb, in the State’s North-West, which stood for many years, so when Graham retired from racing in 1977, it was only natural David move up to touring cars. After several seasons, which included a class record at Symmons Plains, David upgraded to a Holden Commodore - and always looking for more power - he purchased a second-hand motor from John Harvey of the Holden Dealer Team in 1982. David finished fifth in the Symmons Plains round of the national championship before going on to record four top-five results to finish 12th in the championship and winning Rookie of the Year. His efforts didn’t go un-noticed and he was recruited by the Peter Jansen Cadbury Schweppes Team to race a Commodore at the Sandown 500 and Bathurst 1000 endurance events.
