hey Ray,
trail wheels of nunawading was my first club. Rode there from 1973 to 1979 before moving on to VMBA affiliated club - Dandenong minibike club. I still have all my old local paper cuttings from trail wheels and one has a picture of a Michelle Vandenberg winning a poster competition. Sister ?

I started racing a Gemini 50 back in 1974 at the Diamond Valley mini motorcycle club in Greensborough. I then bought a YZ 80C in 1976 and rode it there until the council took the land of the club and did nothing with it. I now live a few streets away from where that track was.  When the track closed I moved over and raced at the Whittlesea and district minibike club in Epping

Northern Suburbs Minibike Club, Melbourne somewhere in the earlier 70s ;). Track now about 10,000,000 ugly brick I got more useless rooms than you puss boxes................... Big houses and no room in the "back yard :D' for even a garden tool storage locker, let alone a very small workshop shed..
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Hey, my start was way later than most of you guys, but my passion is just as strong...Wheelstanders 1989, fast guys there back then-Matt McKenna,McFarlane brothers,Craig Anderson (Suzuki Rider).
Everytime I drive past that empty lot I get cranky...Just like Trailblazers,Pine Rivers,Redcliffe...List goes on & on. Bugger housing developments!

Tim,  I remember the Northern suburbs track it was down a back street behind the Village drive in theater in Reservoir, I did a couple of races there, it was like racing on the black market back then as they were not a VMBA affiliated club and we were "advised" not to race there but we did. All good fun....
