It is either late 84 or early 85. I would go with early 85 before the state titles as I am still running No.2. If you look at Southlake mems, the last picture is just after the 85 state titles. I have some more I just have to scan them.
Wasn't there a new Cardiff built after this one?

I was 19 in 85, had a SLR & didn't ride my bike(quicksilver), but I still have it. So I couln't tell you when they done up the track. I remember riding a home made BMX over crude jumps & burms there I think in the late 70's,
& only raced (not very well) at a small track at Argington, two suburbs away.

Thanks Phil,
           I remember Chapmans bike shop were heavy into sponsership up there (wen't to school with son Craig)
although he rode Veladrome/Road.
I flew down 3 weeks ago for a wedding & kicked myself because was going to check out the old track (if it hasn't got houses all over it) but had no time..

Guys, we lost some photos from the great crash of 09. If you put some in and they are not here anymore, feel free to add them again.

Thanks
Phil

If you want photo's of this track, you might pm Pete (Quickie Mon) as this was his home turf.

Fantastic photos Ajay. What happened to the poor Redline rider clutching his arm? And, did you finish the race on the podium after smashing out an Olympic effort to regain the race?

Cheers Adrian.

Sorry, I haven't been around for a while...

It looks like 1981, Cardiff Winter Open.

No idea where I finished in that race, but I'm guessing not very well!
