Dick Johnson, factory driver

[Henry]

A pretty easy one, but it's too hot to think properly. List Dick's one factory-team race, the car, the track, the year, the result. The answer will perhaps be a bit of a surprise for the younger members

 

[Wazza]

HDT Torana at Surfers Paradise International Raceway 19th of May 1974 and Dick finished 3rd.

Was the Mazda he raced a factory entry?

 

[Rob 18]

No. It was a privateer Mazda.

 

[J.C.]

But....
The RX7 that he won the Eastern creek 12hr in was a factory entered car.

 

[Henry]

Didn't see that coming .

 

[MRJUCY]

That's the one I meant I should have been more specific I guess. I thought it was but wasn't 100%.

There was a connection there with Allan Horsley wasn't there? Now there's a man with lots of tales to tell
