And the tall brunette in the front row wins a kewpie doll!........It was Bob Voumard from Pt Pirie, S.A. aboard a Yamaha DT1, winning the title in 1968 only 3 months after the release of the DT1. It is also thought to be the first championship of any kind to be won by a DT1 Yamaha anywhere in the world. Bob raced VMX for at least 10 years and won a lot of races on CZs and a B44 Metisse. He's a complex and interesting character who'd talk Jamie Packer out of his millions if given half a chance ::).
