Chistmas Hills Grand National 1975 program

[Stan S]

Stan,  how come you still have all of those programs with the results written in?  Was it parents keeping the records or have you always been an avid recorder of events?

I was lucky enough to have a big sister who used to come to all the meetings and for my 21st she put together a huge scrap book for me. It's funny, after she stopped coming to the meetings I stopped saving the programs etc.

47#    He could never stay upright on a bike even back in the 70`s. , Just ride over him and use him for traction. If you can`t beat them join them, welcome a board 47#

[Dennis]

Ho HO HO you guys are such a laugh. I remember when the pain would go away after the second day not week.

[SAABCOMBI]

Thanks for the memories Stan.

Interesting you mention the Laurie Boulter MXs in SA of '76 & '77. Rode in both of those & was one of the lucky ones to pull a "Row 1" gate...Had a look through the old trusty shed archives to find a dusty 3rd place sash for '76 ( Mike Landman won that year) .

Cheers

Gday Tony, yes they were great races. I unfortunatley started further back than you in the 76 ones.
