 :D  Yeah, I was talking to him last weekend, and he told me what his racing number was back in the day.  Wouldn't have had any idea this was him till he told me he was '030'...   

 ;D

(I was 12 in 1976 - too young to really take note of who was what number..)   ::)

These aren't much good but should be Tivoli 75.
Gaston Raiher should be in here somewhere.

That'll be 76 Mike, Rahiers not in those shots but I see a couple of mates in the C grade 125 race, B33 and K97.
I'd say that's Hans Applegren on the #12 Husky.

Shot No 4 with the bus in the background I'm pretty sure is Stew McLachlan on an RM250

Could be 76.
Found a bunch of old negatives with Gaston written on the packet and a photo of my son in the carpark.
He was very tiny which made me think 75.

Kevin had a RH250 in 75 and a RM370 in 76 then a 400 Maico in 77.
Yeah Rahier was there in 76 Mike and they're 76 125's in the pic.
Vaughn how big is the crowd back then! That could be Stew but I think he was still on 125's then..

I had an RM250B I bought off Phil Thew, Noel Harkers old bike....only 6 months old, and I loaned it to Stew for one of these events...not too sure which one though. Too long ago to remeber if he was in open class by then...pretty sure he was c grade.
I can't even remember racing in the sidecars...must have bumped my haed too many times since then :D but I do remember racing against those guys in '77 at ACUSA park and then again in '78 at Broadford.
