Was lucky enough to be mates with Stephen Ireland in 72 his dad had worked with Tony Rule in the auto sales industry and Tony had backed Trevor Flood in a Shop on Nepean Highway where all the car dealers were, called TonyRules motorcycles, Elsternwick. (Only lasted a short while) anyway they had the whole troop their for food and drinks before the Calder meeting. The boys (Decoster and co) flogged a little sl70 around the front car park doing monos and skids. As 14 year olds we were in awe. Still have an autograph sheet with all their signatures.

Funny thing though I went to the races and saw nothing of the bikes as I tried to cotton onto the first girlfriend. Chased Robyn Rhodes around all day like a whipped puppy. Ah at least getting old and fat does cure some things.

Wow it would be a trip down memory lane looking through those old programmes, any chance you could scan & post some pages?

I've never really bought an old program before so I have no idea what they can be worth.
$20.00, inc postage?

I'm in the 75 program John and gee my memory makes me quicker and quicker as each year passes, only prob is when I look at the list of competitors I reckon they must of quicker too. Good memories of a great time. At least it's something to show the son cos he reckons I am a high class"wobbler" on recent efforts.

Gee, that brings back some memories. Number 153 in the Challenge Cup, and I've still got that CZ!

There's a few folks on that starting lineup that have had someting to do with the vintage scene.
Gary Adams.....rode a few events at Barrabool on his RH
Gary O'Brien....rode VMX on Montys and vintage dirt track on his Hagon JAP in the early days of vintage.
Jim Scaysbrook....has a lot to do with the Broadford Bonanza and of course his magazine Old Bike Australia.
Vern Grayson....Had a controversial foray into VMX with his Cheney Triumph and Bullys and promises to eventually come back .
Guido Simionato..rode a couple of the very early Amaroo vintage meets on a Husky
Kevin Brown.....Still racing VMX on Husky's. Has won a couple of National titles in pre 70 and or over 60's.
Kevin Flood....rode his own Maicos and CR125 and later one of my Maicos in the 90's...left VMX for triathlons.
(Miss) Ele Knowles...doesn't race but is often seen at events. Was at CD9...hasn't aged a day in 30 years.
Mick Cram...Still around the scene but in poor health. He rarely missed a VMX meeting with his pal Jens Olsen until recently.
Porky Eldridge...as above. Still seen at the occasional VMX meet.
Chris Dixon...comes and goes from the scene. Was at CD9 having a ball.
