For those that did not make it to the CRC I have uploaded a shot of the "Magoo" trophy

Big and red just like the bloke we named it after!



I dont think Magoo would mind if its for a race or not...it could go to a rider/voulenteer who's just been a real good vmxer,with a big heart for the days event or the past year.  8)
cheers A

Who won the Magoo Memorial Trophy

What a hoot. ;D ;D I haven't seen my old CZ 400 since I sold it about thirty years ago. I'd bought the CZ in about 1980 for $80 and used it as a muck around bike and for the occasional short circuit club day. Being six years old when I got it, it was considered to be positively ancient but I had a ball on the old girl as a back up to my modern Maico. It was pretty trick when I got it....Mossberger or GEM reed, Mikuni, Motoplat ignition, alloy tank, porcupine head and some other stuff I can't recall. Eventually I sold it to help finance my '82 Maico 490 enduro to a guy who pretty soon passed it on to Trevor Lucas who raced it in the very early days of VMX. It's in the exact same condition as the day I sold it thirty years ago, including the wrong model tank graphics...all I could get in those pre VMX cottage industry days......This has made my day ;D!

Gimme a break...it was thirty fuc*ing years ago since I sold it....I'd presume the forks and wheel had been in and out a couple of times since then. ::)

I would just like to thank all the officials and committee for a fantastic weekend of racing at the Crawford river classic rode the wheels off everything I had and also bikes I borrowed thanks to Ken Smith for the loan of the OSSA and Kawasaki and Sean Hardman and his Dad for the loan of the Yamaha sorry to the guy who lost his leg in a race start crash ( good job it was false). Also managed to finally get my 16 year old son to come and race he had a ball and has now decided to come to Cd8 on a road trip. Congratulations to my mate Chris Bullen for the upset of the meeting buy beating everyone in the brands race on a bog standard road legal Suzuki PE250T I'll never here the last of it now. And Noel can you put  the bunting a bit lower so its not wrapped around my neck when I crash through it!
Thanks again Bunting Baker #333

Trevor is still racing this bike but ended up in Hospital with a dislocated shoulder in a freak accident while push starting this  bike just before the Trophy race's he is OK and was picked up and taking home  from Hospital by another rider.

"Bunting Baker" when we put it lower it got caught in your  foot pegs ,
(and I watched your trailer dancing down the F3 that Looked like fun)

The Magoo trophy event was not held at this meeting but will be held later in the year , so Damo you still have a shot at it!


Age old Question on the Front brake Jim, Have looked at Hundreds of Photo's and I reckon it's 50/50 which side it's on
