Dirt track racing at Deagon, Qld and elsewhere - Rudge photos please

[cardan]

It was amazing the way that Douglas dominated dirt track racing in Australia through the 1920s, but in 1930 Rudge ruled the roost. Rudge appeared on the DT scene in 1928, became competitive with Douglas in 1929, won everything in sight in 1930, and were completely outclassed by the new JAP from 1931 on.

I'm very interested in racing Rudges, and among the surviving racing bits is most of a 1930 Works DT Rudge. Almost certainly it was raced in the UK during the summer of 1930, and brought back to Australia by the returning Australian DT team in about September 1930.

I'd be interested to see photos of racing Rudges - DT or TT - in Australia 1928 - 1935.

Cheers
