Shit load of C graders in that lot,you would have to have been good to win that class ;),Brad Jones former V8 super car driver was also a former MX rider it would appear

Yes he was .. I rode with Brad when I was a young'un .. I think at the time I had just upgraded my XL70 for a CR125M Elsinore ... man did I have a lot to learn.  I recall practicing with Brad at the Albury Wodonga track and thankfully he taught me a couple of things back in those days.  We lived in a house behind my parents shop in Dean St Albury and between the shop and the house was the back of the old hospital servo and a laneway that went down to a couple of workshops.  One of which was Jones and Crib (Brad Jones and Phil Crib) panel shop.  Not sure his brother Kim was there .. I'm certain he was kicking around somewhere.  I did my work experience in that panel shop ... sweeping the bloody floor  ;D

Brad's old man owned the local Volvo Dealership .. Phil Jones Volvo from memory.  And I recall him giving both Brad and Kim an open wheeler race car which I think signalled the end of Brad's motorcross days.  Well, those were my  memories at least .. probably not exactly right but they seem to make sense to me  ;D
