Andrew Turner rode every now and then at our club mainly on a modern bike, up until a couple of years ago when he buggered his back his brother Jason was also a great rider. I know the Brickhills also. Peter McCormack and Peter Willoughby would be two names that most people that raced in tassie would remember Im sure.

An official that I will always remember in Queensland, Eb Lammers (spelling?) End of briefing was his quote "May god bless you, 'cause no body else will" in his Dutch accent.

Graham ( Smythe ) Smith, Passed away 22/7/1945 to 23/5/2008

He was a great man & an awesome racer, I've spent many hours in his work shop with him, while I was there, he always had time to show me things, yeah you could say I learn t a lot of him, always in my thoughts RIP Smythe.

Dot i went to Dennis Dickmans house on the weekend and told him about this forum.. He's been checking out the Christmas Hills program.
Graeme Smythe is a different person to the Graham Smith that passed away recently. Smythe is from WA and is alive and well.
Mark pace lives here on the Gold Coast and goes riding with his son who has a CRF150.
