Oran Park 19th September 1971.

In the middle of the car race meeting at Oran Park in Sydney, they ran a few laps with side-cars.

Obviously a demonstration run to encourage the car crowd to go to a bike meeting.

It's for those with better knowledge than me to add some names if you can.

Just two photos... it's very obvious that everyone was staying away from each other,
especially in the second shot where I needed just a little more cinema-scope to get them in.
