Two of the greatest Dirt Trackers of the modern era. Displaying two very different styles of getting around a track bloody fast  ;D

Top shots Shaun, looks like Lennie Norris has the holeshot at Griffith in the first, a CIG Golden Wheels round maybe ??,  Watto leading Caso at ??? in the second, could be Cowra in the third with Gally chasin' Glen Macdonald on a slider.
Great stuff !!!

Yeah I would've said Cowra Foss and I think #1 is Anthony Gunter.

Foss the top picture was titled as being "1981 Small Track Titles Cameron Park" when I found it. As you say Lennie looks like he's got the jump but I reckon his battle with the late great Simon Wigg on #1 would have been awesome to watch.  :o

My lips are sealed Shaun !!, as Langy gave me that shot and Firko posted it for me before I worked out how.

I wondered about Pommy flag body colour and it being Simon but wasn't sure. As far as the track  goes ,the start area looks a bit like Griffith and I was just guessing, Top shots anyhoo, thanks

Yeah Foss I wasn't sure if it had been posted before. I went back through this thread to about page 40 and couldn't see it so I reckon it's worth another go  ;D

I got to meet Wiggy at the first Bathurst long track and it remains a highlight. Great bloke and what an awesome rider!

Cheers
