Not sure about the YZ #8. I do have some photos of a YZ with a big tank but I think that was a few years later and may have been Kevin Horton. I'll have a dig around.

Hey Graeme. I was racing in the 85 3 hour. I teamed up with a guy on a cr500 from down south ( cant even remember his name). The #3 RM500 are the Owen brothers. Dave Armstrong was there as well. Do you know who is on the #1?

The second shot of #1 on the back wheel is him. Who was he teamed up with?

Brad, I actually have a lot of photos from that event in my collection, can you recall your number? Who did you ride with - was it Baldwin? I took a few of some trick Hondas, I think Foreman was on a Honda too with twin front disks. Yes, the #3 bike was Gary and Terry Owen who rode for our local Suzuki dealer Greg Ohl Suzuki. They were quick riders, not sure where they are now. Last I heard of Terry he was in the NT and still riding. Greg Ohl retired from the industry to run a business on Fraser Island although I believe he was seriously injured in an accident a little while back.

I'll try to scan in all the pics from that 85 3-Hour and post them up over the next few days.

Its all a bit hazy now. He rode for Bennett Honda i recall. Baldwin doesn't ring a bell. Cant even remember the riding number as it wasn't my bike. Hopefully you have a pic that will jog my memory.

Might take a couple of days but I'll post up a new thread about that 3-hour. About time we had some 80s Dirt Track to look at...

It was always a wet meeting from memory. Remember the real wet one (first one i think) when Dack got his bike bogged and had to walk away from it standing upright in the mud?
Who is the #B in the same shot?
