Looks like a great track Dave, how does the club get access to ride it again, I'd love to help just to get to ride it.

Poss, my program is 1994, that was the first I think, I will have another look, I have a poster somewhere of the first meeting. I will make a phone call to see if could be a  goer in the future.

Dave,
Me thinks it was 1993 - I recall ripping the place up on me YZ360A... even won a  few moto's on it if I recall correct.
Got a phone call from Peter Clark about two weeks after the event asking me if I would sell the bike to him!
He brought the bike from me and then latter on took out an Aussie title or two on it.......  8)

Regards
Rob.

Tim,
The meeting you are talking about must be about 1995 as that is when Garry Benn returned home from Europe.
That YZ360A of his was once owned by Rodger Harvey from the UK... Rodger finished 3rd in the British championships in 1973 on that bike and is now owned my a good mate of mine.
Your CZ must have quick... do you own it?

Regards
Rob.

Mortlake was the best, I have great memories and I am sure a lot of riders and spectatulor do too. Mortlake track would have been ideal place to run a Australian vintage mx Title at, the track could have been made longer if it required. it was a top gear track, and it was good to see big bores bikes open up, full noise.
