Perkin's 5 Year Old Wonder

1992 - Perkins' 5 Year Old Wonder

Larry Perkins astounding many at Mt Panorama by outqualifying the newer VN Commodores and the brand new '93 spec VP Commodores in a 5 year old VL Commodore. He was a serious contender for pole position until Dick Johnson pulled out an absolute screamer of a lap in his Ford Sierra RS500. Note the Benson & Hedges BMW of Tony Longhurst behind. This was the lap where Longhurst used Perkins' car as a tow to record an outstanding qualifying lap time that placed the 4 cylinder car 5th fastest for the Tooheys Top Gun run.
