back in 84' (or 1985 possibly) i turned on the tv in Melbourne and caught some brief footage of a meeting at Monza Park Ballarat, the race was B Grade all powers and a good mate of mine was leading on a CR500RE ( went on to take the win i think to). this was probably one of his last races as not long after he had a bad accident on the triple set of jumps 3 corners after the start straight of Traralgon and cracked a vertebrae in his neck and passed out in a small coma  and spent a few weeks in hospital with bad concussion. thus ending his racing and riding days forever.

anyway , long story but i was his best man and he mine ( some best man , didn't talk me out of the contract on my life  ;)) and i would love to get a copy of this race if anyone happened to copy it all those years ago.

i cannot remember any other details except what i have mentioned. anyone know the TV station in Ballarat at the time? Ross/Gator?
