Great stuff :)I knew they where hiding out in this big land of ours.
Where are u.?
What era where they from.? 8)
That will be one good event,not that I have seen DT before.
Just pre 75 MX here in WA,oh and of course modern for the 14 year old son.

Hey vmx,BMC is Brisbane m/c club,which maybe a little 2 far away 4u iwould think.
1 was an 850Norton eml, & the other an 850 wasp, got chattin with the rider and apparently there's afew more outfits around that will hopefully come out of the woodwork.

Does the EML still belong to the Standage brothers ? I used to race against them in Towoomba , Coonondale  and ones in Benleigh. I think that was 82-83-84 +85

According to my boys you need only the width of your outfit plus 200mm , enough to get you front end inside their line and push them off it. ;) Now before anyone gets on their high horses  In any motorcycle speed racing you do exactly the same don't you. :) Cheers to the BMC and northern racers!

As per rule book the track should be at its narrowest point no less then 30 feet. Anything less is a goat track

Bet you wish all tracks had a minimum width of 30 feet!!!! ;) I do ! have a check at your next meeting ,you will very likely find the goats are winning.
