Although depleted by the carnage at Lakeside the entry for Wanneroo was boosted by the addition of local runners, including the new Barbagallo Motor Sport Commodores of Alf Barbagallo and Tim Slako. Wanneroo would only be a 50-minute race to fit in with Channel 7's 1 hour telecast time slot, a change that would become very significant on Sunday afternoon. In qualifying, Brock was again the only one able to get close to the pacesetting Shell duo. Rain throughout the day had subsided by race time but the track was still very wet. Wets were clearly the order of the day, the only question being how long they would last. Johnson once again took off into a clear lead from Richards, Brock, Longhurst, Fury and Bond. Bowe had made a bad start, compounded by a touch from Brock at the first corner which sent him off. He finished the first lap in 7th but immediately started to regain ground. He carved his way back through the pack to be past Bond and into 3rd by lap 10. Dunlop's wets were clearly the order of the day as Richards and Brock fell back. With the track drying out Longhurst came in for slicks on lap 25, followed soon by Bowe. Johnson maintained his lead and did his best to preserve his now-ailing wet Dunlops. In the waning minutes, and with Bowe and Longhurst taking huge chunks out of his lead, Johnson pitted. Dick didn't realise the race was almost over, forgetting the race was only 50 minutes long. He made short of others struggling on worn wets but there was no catching Bowe or Longhurst. Bowe now headed the championship from Johnson with everyone else trailing. |
