Founded by the late William (Billo) Scriven in 1980. Racing his Austin 7 Historic Car, in the Maldon Hill Climb, Sandown, Phillip Island, Eastern Creek, Templestowe, Winton and Eddington.Winning many events in the Regularity Trials.
Following in his fathers footsteps, Tim Scriven, also raced an Austin 7 Historic Car. Competing in many events with his father. Showing promise to race more modern cars, but an accident which resulted in a serious broken leg, slowed things down for a while. When fully recovered Tim decided to race motorcycles. Competing in Enduro events, desert races, Condo 750 and the Australian Safari. Tim attracted to attention of Honda Australia, where he was extremely successful, wining many events and titles, especially winning his Class in the Australian Safari three times.
Tim knowing how hard it was to get the attention of major sponsors and factory backing, while helping out with the local motocross club, spotted an A Grader with some talent. Tim decided to sponsor Lee Teague, who tussled with Australia’s best in A Grade, wining many events, but could not attract factory backing, when he should have.
Tim sort to help local riders as much as he could, as they where disadvantaged living so far away from many events. Tim now has the recognition of major sponsors, they know what his is about. With all the work Tim has done to get where he is, he is passing it on to younger riders, preparing them for what may lie ahead.
Motorcycle racing, in any form, is a serious business, one not to be taken lightly, you have to show initiative, dedication and loyalty to sponsors, while staying truthful to yourself and your goals. It is an expensive sport, you need all the help you can get.
