I hear what both Slidz and Pancho are saying, but really, set your gearing/tyres/head for whatever surface ya ridin' on and Bob's ya Uncle, I didn't mind riding on whatever track, Griffith was the all-time favourite, but the Wyalong was like tar in places, loved it, Yass was loose deco, loved it. Wabanumba, Young was something else,bloody fast !! a top track.

On the matter of history, can someone give me a potted version of who John Langfield is and his expertise? I mean, I know who he is and that he was a top rider back in the day, but I don't really know that much about him. I'm after just a few paragraphs that sum up who he is and his authority/expertise in dirt track.

Give John a call he will put it in his own words

One of his old solos is in the Nabiac Museum.

If you are looking for 'anecdotes' there is no shortage!! Especially from those blokes who rode through the '60s short circuit!
cheers pancho.

Langy ?? A few paragraphs Bloody hell, you'd need a Library !!! Brilliant coaching kids, a hard man on the track, I've seen a side of Langy that few see, a VERY complex man and a proud Aussie, he always gets up me for being a Pom, one of the Old Enemy !!

I know it's got bugger all to do with the thread subject but I just had a giggle to myself recalling Langy's dummy spit at the Griffith dirt track Nats which led to him sulking in his car, watching old Mr Bean episodes on his laptop. Fluck that was funny Foss

Yeah, well I guess that incident is part of Dirt Track history, eh? Firko, there was a bit more unseen goin' on there, too.
