Classic Dirt Track Images.

[JAP 454]

Apologise for the quality, at least the program survived !!


 The entry list looks like a who's who of Short Circuit of that era and note that the late  Greg Hansford is entered as well as Tom Gibson,
The meeting was a cracker , especially the Aces Invitation.

Have a look at the rider of #514

Hey Fossil,
Glad to be here. Certainly has got the Shell A pumping thru my veins again. Yes I see my name in the entry list and plenty of other long lost friends from that era.
In your cover shot do I see Sprata Mason, Greg Primmer, Billy Mac and if I am not mistaken, Chris Pusey on #38. I think this shot was taken at Salty creek. Am I right?
Don

We're on fire now, love it.
Definitely Chris Pusey and even Carlos behind him.
You chose the safest line Don in that shot with Carl, who is 208? and there is Warren Willis in there behind.
Great nostalgia Fossil, interesting to see Sidecar Legends George Watson & Steve Burdus riding solo's, Dave Butler still peddling the Sidecar and Lee Roebuck in there as well, wonder were he put the nude bird.
I have no idea who no83 B Askew is.
Keep em coming.

Here is another


and another

[JAP 454]

Don,
The cover shot from the Cowra Program is obviously not Cowra's Woodstock Park track and most probably one of the Northern Centre tracks, and from one of the OZ / Pom Test series. thanks for identifying some of the riders, as you can gather I was a B grader and some of the first corner  battles at this meeting , in the Unlimited A & B, were bloody terrifying to say the least, as everyone was pumped up from watching Bathurst the two days before.

3 more Gems.


Billy at Amaroo, pre oiled track by the look of it.

Billy chasing Carlos, again at Amaroo.

Look out Fraze, Nepean.

[Curly3]

I'm pretty sure in the 2nd last last shot is also, Lenny Searle, Ron Lea and Ken Bushnell.
The Maico men will confirm.

[ianaust]

Hi Steve, Your right thats who it is at Amaroo Park , I will put some on soon as I can figure out how so tell Carl to look out for his picture

[Curly3]

Now that last one is confusing. No 26 on the front & 49 on the back. I'm pretty sure it's Billy on his Cole Elstar. He has just restored it by the way. Who's no53? he's only a little bloke, an early shot of Ian Williams or maybe Speedway rider Dave Mills.

[Curly3]

This shot explains why I became a pretty accomplished Tree Climber as a kid. Sorry Ian, not your best side.
68 Gary Thomas & Kevin Patton, Amaroo.
The only shot I have so far of my Elstar in action.
