Ok we gotta keep up with the Classic Dirt Track pic thread.   
Heres one from David Fullston..I keep going back to this pic with the kid in the rails,the start gate style,mouth guards,helemt peaks and good quality leathers along with good quality riders 
Not the best copy but a good Aussie shot !! more info greatly appreciated 

About to start Dave Fullston's Husky 400 #1 is a youthful looking ace tuner Jon "Hawkeye" Hawkins ( ex Ivan Miller). With a tank full of methanol, and a carby slide full of nitro, you can see that his hand is nowhere near the throttle as he starts the bike. Once Dave gives it a big rev on the line, the sponge above the throttle slide is compressed, the nitro is squirted into the carby and holeshot city here we come. We always wondered why Hawkeye never revved the bikes on the line after starting them.
Although my memory is not so good, I think Dave Fullston dominated in SA on this bike in 1977, winning the A grade star and the #1 plate for 1978. Although living in Qld now, last year he flew back to SA for the State VMX titles at Acusa Park and won the Evo 250 title on one of Don Bowey's CR250RZ's.
Jon Hawkins still lives in Adelaide but is over tuning bikes and is now an electrician with his own successful business. Presume that this shot ( and the next one with Dave as #01 alongside Steve Gall) is from Mr. Motocross series somewhere in Victoria in 1978?

Not sure if this is a MR Motocross round or not because Gunter would've been running the #1 plate although with the Pepsi sign in the background it could be. #78 is Pelle Granquist

SA I reckon, its not victoria ,no vic riders in pic either

Note to Rossco, safest place to make disparaging remarks about Huskies is Laos, any closer and the God father will send out a hit man!!!
