Vintage Track / Re: Bendigo Longtrack 1975
« on: January 14, 2013, 10:19:16 pm »Interesting result list , Alvin.It seems that the NSW S/C Champs were run over a number of rounds BITD and the legends that were riding in that round !!.
Another thing that struck me is that Douggy Penrose is listed as riding a CSD in the Ultra Lightweight and Lightweight, now that's gotta be Clement Sorrel Daniels bikes, the tuning whizz from down the 'Gong way, have you got any clues on that , Pete ??. 'cos I thought Clem was a road race tuner.
Foss
Foss talking about Clem Daniels,My good friends Bryce and Glen Davies restored one of Clem's 125 Batam's (CSD 3 ) here in Griffith into road race trim.It was purchased many years ago by Glen from one of the Ohem Brothers from Junee,Here is some of the story on that bike.

« on: August 05, 2012, 10:19:49 am »Close but not quite the whole Cigar Mark ( Slider29 ).Hey Sreve,
It was 1970, Terry Poole collected the old toilet seat from the nearby tip and placed it over Billy's neck as the winners " Laurel's ".
Bill retained the seat the next year at Tivoli in QLD then got to return the privilidge to Terry at Amaroo in 72.
I know Kieth Davies won in 73 at Seymour but off the top of my head I have no idea of it's history from there on.
Billy's grandson won the same title in Bris just a few weeks ago at the age of 16, as a result Bill is on the search for the whereabouts of the famous seat.
It's probably in landfill somewhere but it'd be interesting to trace how far it was actually passed on down the line.
Spread the word.
I think Tony Lacey may have the seat. I know he has one but I'm not sure if it's a replica or the real thing. I'll give him a call and find out.
Hi Everyone,I'll just add a bit about the "dunny seat " Tony Lacey won the U/L title (+ seat ) at Seymour 1979,The next Year it was won by Ian Williams at ACUSA PARK,1980 in Adelaide. Maybe Taffy Williams would know where it is,as I don't think it was at Cameron Park in 1981 ! Taffy is on my Facebook friends list but nver uses it ,perhaps get in touch with Kev Patten. I will post a photo Julie took of Ian. Cheers Len Norris

Great Photos Guys,Like the '75 aussie titles at Griff Pete,(you finished 3rd in the 500 title that day if i'm correct )
Here's a photo of my father Norm Norris at west Wyalong in 1956 on a 350 AJS, not sure who is running 2nd but 3rd is Griffith's Johnny Shields.Dad was one of the founder members of the wyalong motor sports club which was opened in 1955.the track was cut out of the mallee mostly by hand on land leased from the wyalong shire.( I still have that "puddin Basin" cromwell in the shed !
