Moffat took the lead from the start but, much to the delight of the Holden supporters, Bond slipped the little Torana through from fourth place down the inside of the red Falcon as they braked for Murray's Corner at the end of Conrod to take the lead. Moffat gunned the Falcon past as they headed for the Mountain again and Bond was unable to repeat the trick again, having to settle into Moffat's shadow for the rest of the race.
Once again Moffat was able to drive through the race with few problems while other Falcon drivers pitted regularly all day or retired with various ailments.
Five of them had engines fail completely while the Gibson/Seton works car had the differential pack in.
The two cars that did run all day without trouble, however, finished a strong first and second, and both were Works cars.
AI Turner had apparently instructed his drivers that whoever was leading with five laps to go would go on to be the winner and as It turned out there was doubt about the outcome.
Moffat had led almost the complete distance and was safely clear of his team mate Bruce McPhee.
Although it looked like a trouble-free run for Moffat, he did have a couple of rather strange problems which had to be overcome.

The first involved the two air hoses which Moffat has to keep him cool and restrict the perspiration which generally flows freely from his body.
One of these hoses is pointed at his face while the other flows directly into his helmet, and it was this latter one which became blocked by a bee of all things.
Apart from the fact that his cooling air was stopped, Allan drove around wondering just how far that bee could get up the tube and what it would do when it got there!
Luckily the bee never made it but Allan had to lift up the back of his helmet going down Conrod Straight at about 140 miles per hour to get some air circulating.
The second 'problem' came at the second scheduled pit stop when the pit crew overfilled the car with oil, the overflow spreading itself over the engine and causing great amounts of smoke as Allan drove out of the pits and into the race again.
He could see the smiles of the Holden Dealer Team crew as they must have thought his race was soon to finish but the smoke cleared up in a couple of laps and their smiles turned to despair as the GTHO kept going without another sign of trouble. Allan's final drama came just three laps from the finish when he was approaching Skyline and found Tony Roberts' third placed Falcon sideways in the middle of the track.
Allan braked hard to prepare for a possible complete halt but by the time he reached the corner Roberts had spun over the edge of the track and rolled eight times down the mountain.

For the last three laps Allan drove cautiously to the finish and his first Bathurst victory.
It was a most popular victory and Allan's lap of honour on the back of the Hardie Ferodo truck took almost an hour - quite a difference to the 170 second laps ,he had been doing over the weekend.
It was the end of a great season for Moffat and the Ford works GTHO.

At the beginning of the year Moffat had contested a three round series which coincided with the Tasman races. winning two and finishing second in the other, winning the series.
Then, of course, there was the big Sandown-Bathurst double, the first time anyone had achieved it.
Al Turner had finally provided the goods for Ford but 1970 was to be his final year at Bathurst.
