Quoted from William Dale Jr. AMRY 1985/86 seems to have messed the results for this race completely. They have Peter Brock as the race winner after a 25 lap distance, but if you read the race report, Jim Richards was the winner by 1.9 seconds from Robbie Francevic with Brock third. I think the results I have added might come from the wikipedia site or a points table. Strangely the enduro race at Surfers later in the year also seems to suffer from messed up results.
