Great stuff, thanks Bry. Thirty years on, Chivas is still racing that 750 Yamaha, and still winning. He's the reigning Forgotten Era Australian sidecar champ, and had three wins at the Phillip Island Classic in January. Still quick, and still feisty.

Having been to Bathurst several times, what these guys do is nothing short of amazing. Best track in the world brings out the best (and sometimes the worst in drivers). At the end of the day it is just a public road. Thanks for posting.

Wow, that is insane! Note when they're dropping down through The Dipper (or is it The Esses?), there is a wire fence with posts driven into the ground. Its hard to tell, but it looks like the wire might have been removed from the fence. Maybe this was a 'safety' consideration! Either way, hitting one of those posts on one of those sidecars would have been disastrous. Amazing footage Bry.
