I thought that it was 78 but on the pic of Landman holding the trophy it has 77 on the sash around his neck?

I would particuarly like to see your shots after the track was shut down if you have time. I used to work at Sugarloaf Dam (adjacent to the track) and actually drove my Datsun 180B around the track as I didn't have a bike at the time. Perhaps you can confirm that the MMBW bulldozed all evidence the track was there I presume to discourage riders prior to the area being inundated. I have great memories of racing there. I never had the balls to take the jump on the the main straight on the left side. Also watched  a few Grand Nationals there as well as the MCRCV Hartwell Club comps. I was there the day Anton had his accident. Jerry

Also Mark Pace is on a '78 CR wearing KFC gear who sponsored him in '78, Gall and Gunter are in Pepsi gear which was their '78 sponsor and Pelle Granquist wasn't here in '77... so i guess  it must be '78 ;)

Awesome pics! Thanks for downloading them.  Brings back memories; I was riding at each of those events, Wallan I was on an RM250B, Melb Supercross was on an RM250Z.
