Vintage Track / Re: 2014 Norths Dirt Track Series @ Nepean

« on: January 31, 2014, 07:45:06 am »

Hi Guys;
Just a couple of questions RE Norths.
I have a disk braked 125 pre 90' and a non disk braked 250 pre 75', what classes are available to run in, also will there be a 50 years plus class?
Also the age old debate question (not requesting a debate though). Will sliders be able to run with mx's?

Just regarding the leading link fork discussion. There is a 1985 Godden in the bathurst national motor racing museum ridden by Chris Watson with leading link forks ?

Thanks for the response guys;
Noel; the images you posted are of Col on his 74 yamaha 250. The frame was built by Stan Clarke, and previously owned by Kevin Sullivan. There were originally two frames made, the other was for Ron Mcenzie and raced by Kevin Frazer in numerous national titles with a 125 Bultaco. The frame was originally designed for a 250 montesa.

On the search topic, I have spoken to a couple of guys on the track and know of another two of these frames (Hagon Stroker for yamaha) none of which are in a race ready condition but there none the less. Both owners saying 'they are in the shed' Maybe Fraser knows? There are alot of sheds out there.
I'm sure you guys have alot of contacts and may know of someone riding one post 1980, NSW region.
I understand this is not going to be easy, with any help though I will be thankfull.

Jim;Classic sandracer, Weslake incl. shipping, will pay you back

Vintage Track / Hagon 250

« on: March 09, 2012, 11:58:04 am »

Hi there Forum;

Just after a little help trying to track down a bike.
I have posted this message as a fovour for my father Col, who would love to see it back in his posession.
73/74 Hagon stroker yamaha 250 frame all original components, yamaha yz250c 76 motor. Extremely quick..

This bike was regrettably traded at fraser motorcycles in 1980, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also looking for an original front wheel as seen in photo, i know they're out there.

Hi Dutch;
My father manufactures and restores short circuit frames to suit most motors and can custom make to suit personal requirements.
Details: P&C Laws automotive engineering SCD (short Circuit Design)
Peter and Col have been racing on and off for 30-40 years, Peter raced at a national level during the mid 70's (see page 30 and onwards on classic dirt track images thread)
Ph: 02 45 781546, ask for Col.

Kris.

I don't think I have many close ups of Petes Hagon yz, will check it out. These two shots are of Pete on the yz the motor was taken from. These are captured from film very hard to do.

Hi only new to the site; have some additonal pictures that may help from 70's.
A couple of these have been taken from old movie frames we have.
My uncle and father Peter and Colin Laws are shown in a couple. Peter raced a hagon sandracer short stroke Jap, he also raced a factory yamaha yz in a hagon stroker frame (the yz one of the first I believe, only 5 were bought into Australia, Peter owned one, the rest went to motorcross riders, 50 released worldwide). Colin also used to race a hagon stroker with a later model yz. Peter raced at a national level on many occations. Napean being his local track, he was recorded form the tower at Napean raceway with a lap time 28.9 seconds, the only difference in the track at that time was a more prominent right hand bend after the speedway corner, making the turn more difficult if anything.
Here are some photos;
This one, 1971 Napean, 1 Bill Macdonald, 49 Kevin Fraser. This one 1975 national titles griffith. 96 Peter Laws, 297 Keith Davies, 25 Greg Primmer. Not sure about others?
