Billy won 4 OZ titles.
2 x Unlimited, 1 x Senior ( 500cc ) and 1 x Junior ( 350cc ).
I'm pretty sure that shot above at Amaroo Park was taken the day he won the Junior title.
Interestingly his grandson has already won about 7 titles in the Junior ranks on both DT & MX.

If you go back to page 21 there are a few shots of Geoff Curtis at Seymour.
What a track, is it still running?

I thought you were running out of photos Foss, that's a beaudy.
Don't you love the line of the throttle cable?

Yeah , Steve , getting a bit low on photos, was gunna do a bit on Charlies twin cylinder things, but haven't got a round tuit.
in that shot, Charlie is moving along pretty well as his face is pushed back a bit , open face helmets let you know when you are going quick, used to happen on long straights like Young and Boxers.

Go the Foss and the Elstar, bet he wished he still had it.
A pit area full of Sliders, love to see that again.
