RACE REPORTS HISTORIC WINTON

90 :OLD BIKE AUSTRALASIA

Australia’s oldestall Historic
event, the 43rd annual Historic
Winton, saw over 400 vehicles
entered, with a further 2,000 on
display for the weekend. The display
area was so large that a free courtesy

bus was provided to ferry spectators

to the various display points. As well

as the race meeting, the Benalla

Historic Vehicle Tour for Red Plate

vehicles explored Kelly Country,

culminating in a Show & Shine.

A highlight of the motorcycle

section was the Harley versus Indian

Hand-Shift Battle for 750cc three-

speed side-valvers, attracting 15

starters. A total of 115 solo entries

were received, with a healthy 21-

strong sidecar field. A notable entry in

the sidecars was the real life

partnership of Cam Donald and Karen

‘Kaz’ Anderson aboard Barry Horner’s

Irving Vincent 1300. It was the first

sidecar race for Isle of Man TT winner

Cam, and the first time ever in a

racing outfit for Kaz, but the team was

unbeaten throughout the weekend.

Traditional rivals Bob Rosenthal and

Keith Campbell were at it hammer

and tongs in the solo races, with Bob

taking two wins on Saturday and Keith

turning the tables in Sunday’s

encounters. For full results go to:
