Stanley you've done it again. I was a flaggie that day right up the back of the track. Every time Gaston came around (way out in frront if I remember correctly) he did a little cross up for me. Happy memories indeed. Jerry

Maybe both of out memories are of a bit, from what I can remember, Gaston & Vic Allan were fighting it out from start to finish & lapped everyone, never seen 125s go so fast.
how can you remember all that ?
also in juniors was one "Grant Dargue" aka Shuffle

I can't forget Hoony , I begged my Dad to take me - it was close to my Bday so it was a present sort of- Anton was God to a bunch of us local minibike guys.He used to come down to our track and practice starts,mainly before a big race.
He wasn't in the program for the 125's, he was doing his exams for 6th form so his Dad didnt want him to go but then relented and said okay to the 125's.I guess I remember it coz I wanted him to bet the Internationals so bad.I dont remember any of the other big races except that Gaston won everything.
The junoirs all I remembered was that some kid on a husky won by seemed like half a lap .It was the only husky in junoirs.Later I met Dave and his dad whilst practicing and we went to some races together, I asked him if it was him on the Husky.
Dont worry Hoonster I still forget where I put things in the shed yesterday.

Stan,
I don't know to be honest it may be,for some reason I thought Brad Jones was more a Dirt Tracker may be completely wrong,Cromo would know if you knew how to contact him,

Gary Chasemores father owned Chasemore Excavations. He was a very quick short circuit rider and a more than capable motocrosser on if I remember correctly a 250 Pursang. He was also a member of MCRCV. Often wondered what happened to him. Funny there a property near me with the Chasemore name on it. I drive past it often. I really should go and find out if there is any connection. Cheers Jerry
I am amazed you guys can remember all this stuff! It was a great day & I only raced the 125 event due to impending exams. I didn't holeshot - actually got off the line slowly but somehow came out of turn 1 behind Gaston & chased him for a few laps until Vic Allen shot past me on the big hill after turn 1 on his methonal-fuelled Bert Flood-tuned Bultaco. I then batteld with the Italian 125 champ, Brissoni. He got past, dropped it (obviously trying hard too!) allowing me past, but he got by me on lap 6 to claim 3rd; I was 4th.
My CR125 had a factory GP kit - larger carb, GP barrel, piston & expansion chamber. Running on methanol, it almost used a full tank in those 8 laps! A great bike!
Dave Etheridge & I hope to get to a VMX event this year - As spectators this time!

Cheers JerryGary Chasemore who used to race speedway is my uncle and not sure where your property is but i don't think its him near you..My Grandfather owned Chasemore Excavations and then it changed names and went on till the eastlink freeway got built.. Great to hear you remember gary back in his racing days.. :)
