great footage, loved it. down con rod they used to pick front wheel up, no idea of speed, bloody fast. was a huge bump there. mate used to live on turn off to track. my first lap was after a pub session, 4 of us in a fx holden ute. did a lap on a norton 750 with tom drouin supercharger fitted. 4 gears, could stand up in 3rd. that was mid 70s, i thought it was heaven. amazed now a norton could go that far without breaking down. i bought one , totally bad bike.

Stumbled on some more great footage of Easter 1981. A few of the faces are no longer with us and I see a dopey sod with a bandaged arm that was with our group who had hopped off earlier.
Its certainly a step back in time
