Yup, they are your old leathers, Jim, that you grew out of or something. The pants survived the fire but the jacket didn't.
Pete , the Club that promoted at Marchmont was the ACT Motorcycle Sportmens Club, I think they ran at Mt.Ginn as well there used to be two motorcycle clubs in Canberra, the other is the present ACTMCC.
Dunno what the meeting at Yass was but it was a big one, a few guns were there, I was riding the Elstar with my Speedway JAP motor fitted, I'd ridden Tralee on the Saturday on me Rotrax copy and swapped the motor into the DT frame that night, it had a steel rod, knife edge flywheels, Don Godden longtrack cam and a small dose of nitro and it was one gear better than KP's KSS JAP, he was flat knacker in top down the straight, I shifted into top as I went by, he accused me of running a biggun so I offered him the spanners to pull it down and have a look.
Anyhoo, Gough and Missus turned up and watched a few races and had a yack to the placegetters, KP , Doug Platts and myself in one race, he sat on Doug's JAP and we offered to push start him so he could have a skid around , his reply was " you buggers are mad !!" I did post a fuzzy shot, from Revs, on the forum in CDT Images. of him on the bike
Be great to get it happening again, I really liked the place. The Yass Speedway car club ran there for years, too
