ABOUT US
My name is Alan Cotterell (Acotrel), and I created this web site in the hope that it might help newcomers into the sport of classic motorcycle racing in Australia and elsewhere. I am the Secretary of the Winton Motorcycle Club, and can be reached through Winton Motor Raceway near Benalla, in Victoria Australia. Their web site is at : http://www.wintonmotorraceway.com.au/home/. This photo is of myself, and my younger brother Douglas at Broadford in about 2005

I have had a life long passion for road racing, and I raced regularly from mid 1960s until the late 1970s. I raced in the first ever historic road race in Victoria, which was held at a Hartwell Motorcycle Cub meeting in October 1973.

The riders are from the left - myself, Russell KIng (unfortunately obscured), Richard Bendell, Ray 'Strawb' Thompson, and Steve Oszko (who won).
Some photos from my racing days may be seen at:

My brother Douglas also races (historic speedway sidecars) and can be seen at:

I hope this web site gives you as much pleasure, as I have had from creating it. And if it helps only one newbie to become enthused and start classic racing, I'll be happy.
ENJOY !
