1975 Wallan International MX Program

[jerry]

Gary Chasemores father owned Chasemore Excavations. He was a very quick short circuit rider and a more than capable motocrosser on if I remember correctly a 250 Pursang. He was also a member of MCRCV. Often wondered what happened to him. Funny there a property near me with the Chasemore name on it. I drive past it often. I really should go and find out if there is any connection. Cheers Jerry

Chasemores excavations was still going a few years back, Russell Bergmier worked for them for a while driving a scrapper, road building. Gary started off in mx, then rode both mx and short circuit and was far more succesful there. I can emember him an his Dad towing a car tandem trailer to Romsey with about 6 bikes on it one year. Bert Flood built most of his motors.Dipped his leg into Speedway also but couldn't convert the short circuit success to the oval tracks but was still quite handy.

Thanks Moto, had a feeling it might have been.

Regards Stan.

Bergmeiers, Chasemores, Portbury (to mention a few) .. it seems a lot of kids who drove scrapers and tractors were also into scrambles and motocross. 

Their dads owning the companies, and being also right into the racing scene and supporting their sons at the races.   

This support extended to such families supplying water trucks and earth-moving equipment to their relevant clubs for track-building and watering on race days.

Nothin' like a nice bit o' dirt-diggin'!

Gary Chasemore who used to race speedway is my uncle and not sure where your property is but i don't think its him near you..My Grandfather owned Chasemore Excavations and then it changed names and went on till the eastlink freeway got built.. Great to hear you remember gary back in his racing days..

Went out to Wallan That day Great meeting, I think it was in the second leg of the Bert Flood mx that Gaston had a flat front tire, we were standing near the jump that came back over the creek b4 you come around to go back up the main straight. and couldn't believe he was sliding into this corner pointing to his front wheel, he rode the last leg on his 125 if my memory is correct. Did any of you guys see the foot pegs on his bikes were built up a couple of inches so he could get clearance between his bum and the seat the seat on the 250 was cut lower as well i think. Man that guy was short!

I am amazed you guys can remember all this stuff! It was a great day & I only raced the 125 event due to impending exams. I didn't holeshot - actually got off the line slowly but somehow came out of turn 1 behind Gaston & chased him for a few laps until Vic Allen shot past me on the big hill after turn 1 on his methonal-fuelled Bert Flood-tuned Bultaco. I then batteld with the Italian 125 champ, Brissoni. He got past, dropped it (obviously trying hard too!) allowing me past, but he got by me on lap 6 to claim 3rd; I was 4th.

My CR125 had a factory GP kit - larger carb, GP barrel, piston & expansion chamber. Running on methanol, it almost used a full tank in those 8 laps! A great bike!

Dave Etheridge & I hope to get to a VMX event this year - As spectators this time!

Hey Anton, great to see you on this forum. I'm sure there will be plenty of questions for you in the future.
I've still got plenty of programs to put up that will interest you.

Regards Stan.
