I don't think his bike was ever upright going down the track, always had a permanent torque steer listPete wrote:I will always remember Henk Vink as well.
Yes, fortunate to see him a couple of times. I remember the runs in awe, but for some strange reason the dump truck they used always prings to mindPete wrote:Who saw SAMMY MILLER run???

great photos love seeing these old pics great cars looks like it was more fun in the 70s and 80s cheers twinnies
watch out for the quiet ones ...
Lots of memories there!!
Probably 79-80 was my first trip. Probably two of the pics that resonated (well they all did really) were the Jade Warrior 'bike' that IIRC Angus McPhail designed, built, and 'rode' - utter nutcase - and the last pic of the cow!!
Even an animal couldn't stand being inside those Pod toilets, survival instincts meant it would rather walk through the wall than stay in another second......just how I remember them!!

Nobbie Hills Houndog team the first time I went what ever year that was. I still have signed picture of both the rail and the funny car!! Owen Hayward was on duty behind the wheel.
I thumbed a lift with a friend when I was 14 or 15. In the days when hitching was common.
