John Roxburgh, (25 April 1932 – 2 August 1993) was an Australian racing driver, and motor sports administrator. Roxburgh's career was highlighted by taking victory in the original 1960 Armstrong 500 (known later as the Bathurst 1000), co-driving a Vauxhall Cresta with Frank Coad. Roxburgh continued to race touring cars well into the 1970s, most notably racing for the factory supported Datsun Racing Team. He won Class A at Bathurst in 1967 driving a Datsun 1000 (B10 series), and Class B in 1968 in a Datsun 1600 (510 series), co-driving with triple Australian Grand Prix winner Doug Whiteford on each occasion. He later turned to the administration of the sport, serving as CAMS President from 1977 to 1982.〔''CAMS Report'', Issue no 107, September 1993〕 Roxburgh died in 1993, aged 61. He was the first winner of the Bathurst 1000 and its predecessors to die.〔"Death of first Great Race winner" in Normoyle, Steve (Ed.)
