The 1966 Gallaher 500 was an endurance motor race for production cars, held on 2 October 1966 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst, New South Wales in Australia. It was the seventh running of the Bathurst 500 race and the first time that the event had been staged under the Gallaher 500 name [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reh8yNE6xhE]1966 Gallaher 500 ICMR - YouTube[/ame]
Fun video! The first couple minutes of racing coverage were hilarious with big cars up front each being hounded by its own little swarm of Minis! :lol: 54 cars started and it looked like half were Minis. If I heard right, Coopers took the first 9 spots outright.
