The 1976 race continues to be a source of controversy as it has been claimed that a lap scoring error caused the HDT Torana of Bond and Harvey to not be counted for a lap, thus robbing them of victory, however the HDT, the team backed by Holden did not appeal the results and some have claimed this is because Holden did not want to appear to be doing a disserive to the Morrris/Fitzpatrick team which was run by Ron Hodgson Motors, one of Holden's largest car dealerships. The lap counting error has been refuted by others, including the race winners and an appeal of the results was never lodged prior to the expiration date, meaning the results as published are final. In 2003 Holden offered Harvey an apology for not appealing the results at a testimonial dinner for Harvey who after retiring from racing had gone on to become a senior executive with Holden Special Vehicles
