Barbed wire,
That's something that doesn't belong at a racetrack.
Sure can't make out the track from that photo.
I rode around it in the later 70's and love the idea of a long Dirttrack.
Hopefully one day we see a really long dirt track with several left and right turns just like ROADRACING on a dirt surface.
The old Musswellbrook track was like that. Spectacular,long very fast downhill straight MAD! Should have been tarred!
 Unfortunately it wore out the as usual too few volunteers to maintain it.
 Does anyone remember that  big event 'The Hundred Pound Race' run there one year. It was one by a bloke on a MSS Velo. His name was Wheatly. Can't remember what year, guess 1963.
cheers pancho

Regarding Kingy's JAP,....I was waiting for it ;) What I mean't was just a tidy up.
I also like a bike to retain some personality/patina. That 4 valver will all ways
be known as Kingy's.
regards  Mark

The next photos are from the AUST V ENG test at kingaroy 16/01/83. Steve Schofield and Trevor Banks. This meeting was run as a small track meeting [ no right hander]. All these guys were riding into the pit corner so hard you would swear the handlebars were going to snap off.
