From the manufacturer:
The James Hardie Bathurst 1000 of 1986 was as eventful as it was disappointing for Larry Perkins and David Parsons. After qualifying for grid position four, Perkins and Parsons had a dismal race day, finishing 25th outright.
Coming up to 1pm the leaders had such a cushion of space that their pit stops weren’t disturbing their positions. Parsons clocked in at 12:54:11 then Perkins headed out 38 seconds later with fresh Dunlops and three churns of fuel without dropping a place.
Twenty minutes later the Enzed Commodore arrived at the workshop, Perkins felt a bearing might have run in the gearbox. While they were fitting the new Getrag the team also checked the engine and changed the brake pads. The stop would ultimately take 55 minutes but allowed the car to run perfectly through to the end of the race.
The Enzed team had dropped to 39th place, second-last of the cars still running and Perkins was desperately disappointed, although they worked hard and secured themselves 25th outright.
