As a comparison: Johnson's pole time was a 2.14.1 while his practice time was a 2.13.3 lap record. The fastest time at the 1983 James Hardie 1000 was set in official qualifying by Peter Brock in his Holden VH Commodore SS with a time of 2.15.3 (his Hardies Heroes time was 2.16.27). Brock's time was to that point the fastest touring car lap recorded at Bathurst on the old circuit where Conrod was a 2km long straight without The Chase. The faster bikes were lapping faster than the touring cars at this point.

In fact, Johnson's standing opening lap time of 2.18.4 would have put him on the second row of the grid (4th) for that years Bathurst 1000.

0:48 Ron Boulden (59) and Gary Coleman (52) were both in the Yamaha team that Yamaha folded at the end of 1983, leading to both Ron and Gary retiring from motorcycle racing, with Gary going on to be a mechanic with Randy Mamola and Norick Abe in the 90's before being hired by Jeremy Burgess, who he had raced with in the 70's, to be a mechanic with the new Rossi team after Doohan retired, until retiring in 2016. Ron Boulden post racing career is a bit controversial, so best left alone.

Michael Dowson and Johnny Pace going toe to toe, Mal Pitman's mighty TZ with it's FJ front end pulling 300 down the straight and flying for 50 meters through the cutting, was AWESOME to watch. Dowson's unfeasibly large testicular volume with the 750 stomping all before them. Pace would catch up till the beginning of the straight, the 750 would have taps opened and all would eat dust and Castrol R. I believe 15 laps and no one came close.

To add to that his right hand is deformed after a Bullbozer controller let go and nearly blew has hand off and he nearly lost his arm. His right thumb is stitched back on at an odd angle and when he races for long periods it bleeds. I used to work for a MC shop owner (Ray Quincey) that was good friends with AJ and he used to drop in now and then and Ive seen his hand and you wonder how he races with it. #7 AJ and Rob Phillis #32 were serious rivals on the track for years, I was a fan of AJ of course and the other Honda Rider Mal Campbell (usually runs #3)

@@topcat4643 Australia had both Motorcycle & F1 official Grand Prix for decades before they were points paying. They were classified as "non championship races", which were much more common in those days. Generally they'd happen during the GP off-season. The F1 races would often have F1 teams and drivers show up, but it'd be mostly Australian & Kiwi designed cars and drivers. The Moto GP would attract less international talent, but had a lot of backing from the GP manufacturers. It was the smaller of the two yearly events.

@@topcat4643 Australia had both Motorcycle & F1 official Grand Prix for decades before they were points paying. They were classified as "non championship races", which were much more common in those days. Generally they'd happen during the GP off-season. The F1 races would often have F1 teams and drivers show up, but it'd be mostly Australian & Kiwi designed cars and drivers. The Moto GP would attract less international talent, but had a lot of backing from the GP manufacturers. It was the smaller of the two yearly events.
