In 1977 (I think) I was spectating on the fence at The Dipper, and was watching Croz wheelieing out of the dipper into the right hander after it. The thing that really impressed me was that as he went around the right hander on the back wheel, and about a metre away from the Armco, he CHANGED UP A GEAR. There was a photo in Revs, which I have (he’s on a Z1 #36).
In 1976 when I took my old Norton to Amaroo for a private practice, some bloke borrowed my pump. My mate said “That’s Croz, the bloke who comes out of ‘stop corner’ sideways”. I thought ‘I’d like to see that’, but I never did ………

Hi Mark, unfortunately, I can’t help on the six hour tape front, but I would be interested to know if your dad ever raced an Aermacchi? I once owned and raced a ’67 short stroke 250 that was allegedly one raced by Geoff. Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Russell

Mark Lucas : Hi there! I have been looking for any footage of that first 6 hour race- my father Geoff Lucas raced in the first 3 races but had poll position on the first one.We have a few pics including the start but no vision- I remember as a 3 or 4 year old seeing on tv so maybe it’s out there somewhere?? Thanks Cheers Mark Cheers Mark

Oh Mark. What a lovely story. That would have been JB. He would have sensed your nerves and focussed on keeping you calm instead. He was a professional, and a gentleman. Thank you for sharing. Let’s talk about the photos, okay?

as a young motorcycle mechanic in brisbane jim came up to ride my harris kawasaki in the swan series at surfers . i remember working with jim for 3 days setting up the bike and i learnt more in 3 days than 3 years with jim. he was calm cool and one hell of a nice bloke.
