Larry Perkins' Hardies Hero's top 10 shootout lap for the 1987 James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst, the last running of the Great Race under the James Hardie banner. This was also the first and only year that the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) was held at Mount Panorama resulting in a lot more overseas drivers making the top 10 runoff.
Larry was the only top Holden Commodore runner still fielding the VK as the rest of the teams had upgraded to the VL Group A (not the Walkinshaw version) as this was homologated earlier in the year.
1987 would also be the first year that Mount Panorama Circuit had the 'Chase' used as this had been added earlier in the year as a result to meet FISA standards and as a result of the tragic fatal accident involving Mike Burgmann in the 1986 Great Race.
