    Actually I can do quite well at that. I've unearthed every GP program from 1989 to 1994 which has race numbers and names. I'll try scan them.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Programs, what Programs??
    1986 to 1989 if you had a Bucket and you were there, you raced, end of story . . .
    I didn't realise that we had anything recorded on paper Dave.

    I've still got a few original Trophies somewhere, constructed on Air Force time of course.

    Found them.

    Front two are from Ohakea 1986

    Rear are Ohakea 1988, Vic Club 125 Racing, and a rather endearing one in 1987 from Ziffle and the Ohakea Crew.

    At the 1987 Ohakea GP, the MB50 #4 shattered a Piston in the 50GP, then I was too shattered to continue the 100GP and pulled out. To top it all off, the Kombi threw a Rod through the Block on the way from Palmy to Ohakea on the Sunday morning. (The tailgating white Holden Commodore covered with 4 Litres of hot Oil almost made it worthwhile).
    I was awarded the Trophy with the inimitable comment from Ziffle that; "I should have stayed at Home and played with my Marbles".

    The 125 Racing Class Trophy was won over 6 Races at 3 Meetings by default; MB50 #4 was the only Bike to finish all 6 Races!

    I think I started in 88 but first GPwas in 89 on a borrowed RG50. I remember the disgust that I'd sold out and got an RG from the person who gave the bike a lift on the trailer.

    .
    Worthly of note, Dave Dip has a complete record of all GP winners. He kindly sent it to me a few years back and they are loaded on our website.

    But if you note any errors or you can plug any more holes; please let me know.
