Gracefield 1978

[FJRider]

I found this pic ... any KB'rs in this photo .. ???

I wouldn't be surprised if the sidecar passenger is my father in law Roger Stent. Looks like his style & leathers.

The pilot of the 500 Suzuki outfit is the Hamilton rider Ron Drever if that's any help. He did have Graham Watts swinging for him at first but this is a little later. #21 may well be Phil Payne.

Can't pick many in the group shot, apart from 01 Vaughan Coburn, 11 Gary Boote, 53 maybe Bill Cooney, 15 Brent Wylie.

If anyone can pick out the black bike on the inside of row 2 finishing with an 8 on the plates, that'd be handy, it has appeared elsewhere and has me snookered.

That might be me 2nd from the right spectator in 2nd picture. Used to work at NZIG in the middle of the circuit, great racing there

Could certainly pass for a young Murray.

Not me, I was a 12 year old skinhead on the plane coming to wreak havoc on NZ shores.:whistle:
