Griffith Photo '75 Aussie Titles
« on: December 01, 2013, 08:03:20 pm »
Aussie Ex Dirt trackers Facebook had a group photo of the winners on the day.
Keith Davies Unlimited and 500cc, Kevin Patton 250cc and 125 cc and
Georgie Watson and Bluey Anderson junior and senior sidecar. They were standing behind
K.D's Godden Weslake. I remember seeing the same pic. years ago in a magazine,maybe Revs.
I would like to see it again but I don't do facebook. Can anybody help?
regards  Mark

You def need glasses Dave :o
I had no luck finding it either but my computer is on it's last legs and bloody slow.
It must be in an album somewhere, just sign up to F/B Mark, befriend all of us and like the photo your talking about, simple :-\ :-\ :-\

That meeting has become legendary. It's one of the best dirt tracks I ever went to and the very last race meeting I attended in Australia for the next 7 years.

 Yes Firko, the '75 titles were legendary. We are still talking about them. A couple of future champs emerged
(Peter Lee) for one and also the first big win for the Legendary Godden Weslake in Australia.
I will let you blokes in on a little secret. The 297 bike is being rebuilt and I am helping the owner gather
info etc. to get it as close as possible to original.  So far ,......original complete rolling chassis, original
fully rebuilt motor. Still chasing,...Godden rear guard, handle bars (grass track type),curved front no.plate.
Hence the reason for wanting this photo. I have collected enough info now so that the bike can be rebuilt to
look just like it did at Griffith, even down to the stickers/cables etc.
regards  Mark
ps. still need a Godden dirt shield

Rod Dunne has rung me a couple of times trying to source Godden bits......is Rod the owner Mark or is he restoring another KD bike?

Just spoke to Keith who has spoken to Rod about this a few times,
Keith might be able to find some more bits,
Rawlo might have a hub in the corner of his shed,
I have Bob Robbos 84S in my stash, so it's probably time to dig it out
