Here is video from a speedwaybike show, but is there a member that knows something from that JAP powered bike with a interesting rear subframe that shows up after 1.04

Dutch,
I reckon Foss or SON might know. Or Slides.
Some nice stuff there.

It is not from Newcastle Showground
The Open Wheeler being present might be a clue

Hard to read the name on the rear guard, and it looks like an early GP Midget in the background, I'll ask Bill Powell.

Sidecar at the end has Geoff Grocott as the rider on left side and the passenger underneath. On the right side is the name Doug Cotterell, there is a Doug Cotterell in Victoria into restoring sidecars? But I also think there is a Doug Cotterall in SA.

Appears to be a Mattingly frame or possibly a Huck Fynn, I think the first.
