HELP WANTED

If the Repco Reliability Trial was part of your life in 1979, then you’ve probably had moments, looking back, and wondered … where did they all go?

The thousands of people: competitors, service crews, officials, sponsors, and spectators.

For a few months, or a few weeks, or as in the case of school kids from Yunta, for only a few seconds; we were all part of the most exciting event ever seen in this country.

Ever since, rallies, roads, gates, heat, mud, shredded-tyres, crowds, and dust have been compared: “The Repco was tougher ….”

Forty years on, it’s time to have a reunion lunch.

After all, no-one else understands us.
