I have many films from mid 70's to CD12 for 'show and tell', just need to find time to edit them.
VCM's Stony Creek (Boagys) is coming up in a few weeks and it has long been on my bucket list to ride, so far have only spectated on a few occasions.
So first cab off the rank is some footage I took in 09

Some footage from the televised MX/Buggy series from late 77 / early 78
The track was specially made for the series but it seemed to be universally hated though, the bike riders hated the track that was built more for the buggies and the buggies hated it for being built to suit the bikes however it was decades ahead of its time as there has been bugger all interest in televising MX races since

1. Who was the girl?
A. Kay Lawrence
2. Who is the guy on KX125?
A. I think you mean KX250, #46 = Garry Wright
3. Who put boulders on the track?
A. They grow out of the ground in Broadford
4. Who is 88 with big hair and Sunraysia big fuel tank?
A. Couldn't find him in clip #1, only in #clip 2, It's not a Sunraysia tank, it's a PE, our best guess is Alphonse (Fonzie)
5. Who is Kay Lawrence?
A. She is now my wife
6. Did you see Dinsdale #6 (0.7 second view)?
A. You must have been studying hard to see a Montesa in clip #1, there is another Montesa, #9 in clip #2
7. Why couldn't KX dude ride fast?
A. He was wondering why too, I know he didn't like the track.
8. How cool are those Holden wagons?!
A. I was only a poor lowly Holden sedan owner
9. Where is your link for second clip?
A. You should be able to find all clips here;
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGj52lrr0nRrs2qSvy6k7LA
10. Why aren't you still in hospital?
A. That was from late Oct to mid Nov. These events were in Dec through to Feb from memory.
I'm standing in the second clip which must make it Feb 78
11. How will you cope when racing at Boagy's?
A. Poorly I expect
Clip one
1. Did you spot the Maico forks on the KX 250?
2. I think #65 is Mark Hill
3. Long haired dude with fag in mouth is Barry Cahir

Yes I too like to study the backgrounds in old movies for cars and fashions.
Although, as can be seen in a couple of those clips I knew nothing of fashion :o
-
whats patently clear is NO ONE did.... ;D

Early views of Monza Park from early 78 (maybe late 77)
The KX was being run in as it was its first ride

Great look back :D
Did I spy a P76 & Sandman by the track too . ?
Enjoying the old vids :)
Thanks for posting

Thanks for taking the time to upload the videos Geoff. Good to see some quality aussie content on the tube.

If your into old fashions of days gone by then you might like this clip, no bikes in it but its from the Bendigo Easter parade from 1962 plus some of the township.
We even have some 'racecam' footage from the journey home which looks to me to be around Kyneton

Yes, Sandman, and a HR wagon.
Not sure about the P76 so here's a close up

looks like a p76 all right...you can seethe44 gallon drum in the boot!
-
that clip of Bendigo was fantastic, I can still remember all the old buildings, the crèche over the creek, the "round the fountain and dodge the tram"....most of those holdens were sold by my old man!...whats amazing is how much is still the same ::) thanks for putting that up Geoff
-
My gawd!! Did you see how low those bars are on No.2 at Monza?!
Gaston Rahier has a lot to answer for.
(It worked for shorty Rahier - but forces an average height rider to sit down. And begs rider to take a trip over bars ASAP)
And yes - my bars were down too in late 1970s. Gosh, but it looks SO ABSURD now.

Ha, you amended your statement, I was wondering why you thought Tits were absurd as I'm still fascinated by them ;D
Hadn't noticed the low bars before, yes they do look low
Not sure who he was
Also, No 65 was Mark Hill and the red suit rider on his bike was his girlfriend
-
Hopetoun hotel band Geoff....not the town!
-
Mark Hill says it is NOT him ....
-
Kay insists it was a Mark Hill, an A grader back then.
Keep in mind there are a couple of Mark Hills around the traps including another on this forum
-
will the real Mark Hill.... :o
-
Hopetoun hotel band Geoff....not the town!
Bendigo has a hotel named Hopetoun? :o
-
As the title says, can anyone name this track, its around 76/77
Has a huge jump in the middle as pr first clip, seems like the first tabletop.
I'm thinking Wonthaggi but not sure

Some Race footage from Monza Park circa 78

Great camera skills by Kaye :)
Can you ID the featured riders please, Geoff?
-
ooh no no no, its Kay without an e ;D
No 46 KX 250 A4 Garry Wright
No 10 KX 250 A1 Shane Saddington
No 100 Maico Ray Wright, from memory he went to B grade with the Maico
Dorky long haired dude, young GMC
-
Thanks Geoff :)
Alas - no Dave Hammond on the scene
-
I think Monza may have been a bit early in the year as he broke his leg in late 77.
We can both be spotted on the startline at Euroa in 77 though

was that the same site that the supercross track was on early 80's or different?
-
No Hoony, completely different track although in the same area. Can't remember exactly where Deep Creek was now but I think it may have been in the same valley as this place.
One thing I'm sure of though, both these tracks had the same horrible black soil filled with volcanic rock.
If I had of been repairing pipes back then at these tracks I would be retired now :o
