Hey "Stan"
I remember as a Kid my brother and I with the Old man going to the very first Rally Cross at Calder I think it was in about 1969 of 70 and it was if I remember correctly Held on a week day a public holiday the Old man was on a "Boat Tail" 250 Bultaco,and won the first race they held,used to love going to the Rally cross,with all the bikes and cars we used to Harass "Brocky" for stickers he was real cool and always found some,

Rode Calder Rallycross a few times. Learnt very quickly about the hydraulic effect of water. Got off the font staight and into the right hand first big sweeper that then turned slightly left, while the car track went straight on through a water dip, was third and thought I could pick up a couple of places by just skirting the edge of the water dip, while only being about 4-5 inches deep, it was like throwing an anchor out and went from 3rd to 30 in a hurry. Can also remember the day Clarry Jones raced his hagon there after the Saturday night dirt tack and Bendigo Showgounds. His yamaha 250 blew up so he used the hagon jap. Took about 6 jumps to break it in half. I thouh Channel 10 covered rallycross? Could be wrong as it was a litle while ago. They tried a few at Broadford but it didn't have the appeal of Calder.
