1981 - PARRAMATTA SPEEDWAY. Sedan Car Double header. 30th December 1981 & 1st February 1981.(night 1)AMERICA defeat AUSTRALIANight one of the double header Sedan Car Challenge was a series of heats and final's the treated the fans to some powerful racing between Australia and America as well as between the local Parramatta squad and the American's.
(night 2)Rodney Combs Black FlagedOne of our American invited guests has got a bit hot under his horses collar it seem's during the Sedan Car Grand Prix. Combs ended up with a flat tyre through a bit of race start rubbing, so he pulled infield were his crew changed the wheel so he could rejoin the restart, This practice is legal in the USA, that right the country were they own sedan car racing, But not her in Australia were our rules are differant. Sure

The American's joined our racing association so they could race, bet they were never handed a rule book. My question is why would any Australian think they could improve on the American Rule book, The American's race thousand's of cars at thousands of tracks most night's every week.
