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.
