great times, we used to get the retreaders to scrub all the tread off the case so we could get nice soft round tyres oh yeah, i also have some shorts like that.
BTW why would you want to wear a skid lid, bloody fairies only wore those, but we did wear gogles to keep the sand out of our eyes (no not the type you wear snorkeling you clown ! )

That was the coolest vid I have seen in quite a while!!
Thanks for sharing.

Next Hillclimb meet i attend i,m going to tell the scrutineer that i don,t where a helmet because it restricts my vision.

Cheers Col

How about telling the scrutineer you don't run front brakes because they effect steering and are therefore dangerous

Some fantastic footage. I certainly hope they keep Stockton Dunes open and don't close them up.

I wonder if any of these buggies till survive today? And if any of them still get used?



Smiley

If they get used it's not at Stocko, unless illegaly, any vehicle on the dunes these days has to be road registered as I understand it.

Pity we had to use the sand dunes at Kurnell in Sydney for building I can remember going out there in the 70s n doing similar stuff

great footage

The Hunter valley and newcastle dune buggy clubs closed down many years ago..gee i miss those days of gymkana and sprint races every fortnight.

What an awesome little clip. i'm sure when that guy rolled the buggy his head was hitting the sand.... hahaha ahh the good old days

F@&ken crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

Great clip, kids this is what the world was like before the do gooders & lawyers spoiled the fun.

I looked at that clip and then a few associated ones, and bugger me there was footage about offroad racing back in the day and bugger me around the racetrack comes an old offroad racer that I used to own and now owned by bluebaja..

Classic! I used to won one of those many years ago. Bought it from a guy called Tony King who'd built it for racing.

So much fun! And being able to scream up the bush tracks to get out to the beach before they made a nice neat road.

Would love some of those tyres for the baja. From memory the ones on mine were off a Cessna!

Mmmm, individual steering brakes. Made climbing dunes easy but was hell on the diff.

Thanks for the vid, great memories.
