Will this be DJR's 1st in a long time....?

[Rob 18]

With DJR seemingly having lost their way mid way through this year [V], it looks very much on the cards that DJR won't have a driver in the MAIN GAME on the podiom at any stage through the year unless something out of this world happens in Tassie or PI.

Q. When was the last time DJR went through a championship year (either ATCC, AEC or GP) without having at least 1 podiom through the year??[?][?]

 

[J.C.]

1986

 

[Rob 18]

Not 86 J.C.

Johnson & Hansford got 3rd at Surfers Paradise International AEC round in the ageing Mustang in 86...

 

[Henry]

the 70's? guessing here...

 

[Seton Fanatic]

Why am I thinking 1991 or 1999 here?

 

[Rob 18]

Radisich had a podiom at Sandown in 1999 SF & Bowey gave us a few in 91.

Henry is the closest so far..

 

[Henry]

How about 1976? The last year of the Torana, the Capri drive at Bathurst...

 

[Racin Jason]

You beat me to it Henry!

 

[Rob 18]

Nup, you'se have gone back to far now...

 

[JB-17]

1978

 

[DJR-1980]

1979

 

[Rob 18]

1979 is indeed correct DJR-1980. I don't think to many other teams in the motorsport world could match that effort from djr..

Just a pity it's about to come to an end & when you look back earlier in the year, we had the potential to score several podiom's, (Adelaide engine drama's in race 2, 4th at WA & 4th at NT) but with current form, it now doesn't look likely..

BUGGER!!!!!

 

[Henry]

Still got a couple of races left, Rob... but yeah, I don't hold a great deal of hope either... won't stop me cheering them on though...

 

[Rob 18]

I'm with ya on that one Henry, just wish I could be at Tassie or PI to cheer them on. But then when I think about it again, it's probably safer if I stay at home as these Seto supporters are getting a bit pissed off with Dick Johnson & DJR & if I'm there with my DJR gear on cheering on DJR, she might end up in a blew.. Safer to stay at home & watch it on the box I reckon..


Just jokes guys..
