Getting this thread back on track, here's a couple of photos from the mid 80s, taken at Action Park in Queensland.
I used to love the short-track bikes from the US, especially some of those cool TT500s and Rotax engined bikes. Anyone remember those Ron Wood Nortons? There was a great article about those in Motorcyclist. But... my favourites were the Aussie version - 500cc MXers lowered and with big fat wet weather tyres. Watching a few of those things on the move was brilliant - Braaaap braaaap.... Sadly, most of my pics from then are slides. Here though are a couple from my photo album. Not so clear cos they've been scanned through the plastic cover sheet. But you get the idea. Anyone else got some photos from that time?
