Allan Grice and Brad Jones raced a Holden VP Ute S (26th) sponsored by Akubra hats. Grice did his qualifying lap with a model of a blue cattle dog in the back of the ute. He entered the car due its V8 power and relatively light weight, though the weight distribution was such that he struggled with the handling of the car. == Results == == References == == Further reading == Australian Motor Racing Year, 1992/93, pages 238-243 & 304 == External links == Image of the winning Mazda RX-7, autopics.com.au, as archived at web.archive.org
