Highlights of the Nissan Pulsar Series of 1985
It would be cool to be able to have this today, but manufacturer lines of support would likely prevent it

David Brabham, Phil Brock, Mark Gibbs and Todd Wanless were some other notables who punted the Laser's around.
Pulsar series was a who's who of local talent at the time, as mentioned Bowe plus the likes of Richards, Johnson, Grice, Portman, Rogers & Masterton plus the likes of Seton and Peter McKay had a start too. Moffat and Ravaglia had a run at Bathurst in a support race in them too. |

Going back further you've got the Renault & Gemini series in the 70's and not forgetting the all female Mazda 121 series in more recent years.

Are the HQs still around? Or the break-away Kingswood series?
Or did all of that get gobbled up in the Saloon Cars movement? |

I think HQs are still strong at state level all over the country.

Amaroo Park ran a great series for Alfa Suds where we saw Tony Longhurst really kicking off his career complete with Dreamworld advertising ( the amusement park started by his father).

Was this the first Pulsar race?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0PzTynUm0w '84 AGP Meeting at Calder. Did this version of the Calder layout only last a few months before the esses were changed again? |

With a chook-lotto starting order, it could be a good thing.
That is of course, if Nissan is still willing to continue the V8SC program, or anything relating to it. |
