Who is #15?

#83 is either John Orchard or Lindsay Trotter from Frankston - depending on what year it is.

Laine Thomas from the back then Melton club. The model of his RM is all that could tell us what year it was, 82/83?

Not sure Tony, but i believe it is now protected by a shotgun. Allthings 414 might be able to shed some light on when it shut down.

 Nup its buggered, some long term stuff survived in the archive, the rest of the hard disc and especially the Ram has crashed over the last few years more times than Paris Hilton has been dished up a pork sword !

Yes that was Diamond Valleys Newtown track.
Did Melton club hire it for a club day Pete?
I don't remember the event pictured, I went to nearly every club day DVMCC had there.
Thanks Pete for many more good pics and memories

I was out at the track only recently and if you are a greeny then you would be happy to know that mother nature has recovered from the hard work we put in to make that track back in the 70s >:(.
The bush there is now so thick that i had trouble finding the track at all.Its all basically gone but we still have the memories ;D.

Not sure when it shut down. Not long after those pics were taken I'd say (I imagine it shut in about '83).
A mate of mine (ex motocrosser) who was a boss for the shire that the land fell under went out to have a look at it about five years ago. The current owner found him having a peek and just about escorted him off with a shot-gun. He came out with some story about shire business and why he was there. Apparently the owners were none too happy that the area had ever been 'traumatised' by such an activity..... :-\

Hi Geoff,
            the Melton club may have been invited there by the Braybrook club as they used to share some meetings. Peter.
