Shame no pictures of the true icon " the bridge" apparently it was sold as a complete unit, don't know who bought it.

Just as long as the drifters don't take over the creek like they did Oran Park, we once rocked up for a 2 day championship bike meeting & the drifters that were out there the day before had left rubber right the way around the track & had not cleaned up their mess, we lost 1/2 a days racing because of that stupid shit, at least they have the blower at the creek :roll:
