Des Ferris recalls: Just prior to the opening of the 1982 / 1983 speedway season at Claremont a few of us got together with our Speedcars and gained permission off the Perth Tq Car club to turn in some laps around the Bibra Lake track.
It turned out to be a fantastic day out sharing the raceway with the great Laurie Mathew, Perry Farcich, Geoff Pilgrim and myself, Sadley my work commitments with a demanding day job and the running of the Bunbury Speedway got in the of my speedcar racing and i parked the car up.
