The missing link in one of the most widely documented moments in Australian sporting history has been solved and will be unveiled publicly for the first time at the annual Pirtek Legends Dinner, presented by Speedcafe.com on Friday, October 19.
A mystery fan has come forward to give a first-hand account of how the rock rolled onto the track at Bathurst in 1980 and destroyed Dick Johnson’s dreams.
After keeping what he saw secret for more than 30 years, the retired public servant will join Dick Johnson as a special guest on stage at the dinner and reveal all.
The dinner will also feature John French, Dick Johnson’s legendary co-driver on that fateful day, modern day Kiwi legend Greg Murphy and a couple of other surprise guests.
There is strictly 300 tickets only for this event and more than 50 percent have already been secured by corporate partners.
The famous rock, which is insured for more than $1 million, will also be on display for photographs with dinner guests.
