Close enough is near enough

Great to hear from others that were there,I am wondering if it influenced your dirt bike crusades.I had the best seat in the house,at the start.Blair had contacted me after seeing the article about the Goondiwindi Gate in ADB,and asked me if we could take a gate to Sydney for the Supercross event he was planning.After a 10 hr drive,we met Blair on Friday morning at the Showgrounds,what a sight,they had carted in a massive amount of dirt and made the first " proper" Supercross Track in Australia,even had a "bridge".Nobody had thought of having a "seconds" board,so we hastily made one out of a bit of ply,and duct tape,and I was the seconds"person", I lost my job to scantily clad women after the first event!

Just read the 40th Anniverary ADB,they must think nobody would notice if they used a photo of the Enduro X at Archerfield last year ,for the 1979 Supercross story,the Quick Shades and Rocks give it away.For the 1980 Sydney Super X,the ADB article is from a 2 Phils Indoor Event at the Sydney Entertainment Centre which was not built until 1982 or there abouts.

Many magazines and news services are moving their sub-editing component off-shore these days. I'm not saying that's the case here, but this is the type of errors you might expect from a sub-editor who has absolutely no connection with the Australasian dirt bike scene.

Doug Domokos did perform some stunts on a Z1300, but I don't know where.
