I was there for that Speedway Test along with 25000 plus fans.Those were the days at the SYDNEY SHOWGROUND ROYALE. The ENGLAND side had the BOOCOCK brothers Nigel and Eric the AUSSIE side Jim Airey and Gordon G. Wonderful memories the smell of the racing fuel covered in dust and dirt from the track. THE PROMOTER. MR SHERWOOD deserves a pat on the back we will NEVER SEE ANY THING LIKE THAT AGAIN THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.
I was there as well. The atmosphere, the smell of the fuel, the roar of the crowd and the noise of the solo's was something I will never forget. Went to the racing at the showground every Saturday night - never missing a race night.
