Steve , I've just realised that the rider doing the flying W in the top shot of the prang at Young is The Captain . the caption for the photo, as well as the other half of the page , is missing.

I had saved the paper because there was a photo on the missing half of the page of a Mantossa doing a handstand on me on that same corner, still got lumps from that prang !!

That's Bill, hit from behind by Roland I think.
Interesting to see that GC wasn't in the test team for that meeting and was untouchable in the other races as was Charlie, in the test match races and the smaller classes.
Other names amongst the results were fellow forum members, Col Moody and Ian Burkett.
I noticed BWP are hosting one of the club days at Nepean this year, they also have their 60th reunion in march this year.
How the hell did they get through so many races in a day?

Here Ya go Slides ,
Scraping a bit but this is from Two Wheels December 1973



C'mon lads , someone must have some Short Circuit photos or memorabilia, I've got to the bottom of the barrel , maybe not quite, I've found a couple of shots of Charlie Edwards, but thats another yarn.

I stumbled across this Ripper.
Len Norris, fullnoise, great shot.
Pretty much sums up the whole Slider scene.

Hey Foss, thats Lenny Searle behind TH in that advertisement.

 Yeah Foss I'd love a copy.
 Old Boxers Creek track was my favourite apart from Nepean, had some great fun and made some good memories there.
 I have a plastic bag full of colour slides that slides might copy for me one day.
cheers pancho
dont follow me i'm probably off line!

Foss, I'll send you an email, I've got a copy of the 7 Hour race in 62 for you as well.
Yeah Wally, I'll send you one too.
The sign on the fence says Wallsend I think so that would make it in the Hunter somewhere.
My guess is an early Raymond Terrace shot.
Mr Bucket would know.
