GALL & LEISK INDUCTED INTO AUSTRALIAN MOTOR SPORT HALL OF FAME

Stephan Gall accepts his award.

The Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame inducted motocrossers Stephan Gall and Jeff Leisk into the Hall at a ceremony in Melbourne this past week. In what is a great honor,  the two Aussie motocross heroes were part of a 2016 Hall of Fame group that included three-time Formula 1 Champion Sir Jack Brabham, 1980 Formula 1 Champion Alan Jones, five-time MotoGP Champion Mick Doohan, 1987 MotoGP Champion Wayne Gardner and two-time MotoGP Champion Casey Stoner.

Alan Jones rolled onto the stage sitting on his 1980 Williams FW07B Championship car.

Stephan Gall was the five-time Australian National Motocross Champion and four-time Mr. Motocross Champion. Jeff Leisk raced the AMA series from 1986 to 1988. He podiumed 12 times and was in the top ten in points in 7 out of the 8 Championships. Jeff then moved the FIM World Motocross Championships and became the first Australian to win a 500 GP and finished second in the 1989 500 FIM World Championships. Both Leisk and Gall are still heavily involved in Australian racing.
