Holy shit, they didn't just win, they DOMINATED! Their lap times would have had them in the top 15 of the F1 field!!!

Good on you guys, awesome to see the Windle out in front and showing the way. Hard to find a couple of nicer blokes either.

Hope the champaigne tasted nice :D

Yip,Awesome,Had a few beers with them at the South Island rounds and they are having a ball,Never saw them once without a grin from ear too ear,Couple of top blokes alright and when Vince works out which colour the positive lead is on the starter pack things will only improve

Yep, they were bloody awesome!!
Top competitors, they just tolied quietly away on their machine professionally & got great results.
I have huge respect both on & off track for rider & passenger & paticularly Vince, the mechanic.
There are not many teams with that many combined years of peadling sidecars that fast.

As i said to Phil Darke (TV bloke) it was like being ambushed by a big bloke weilding a two by four, after the classics & F2 ive been swinging on for the last two years.

That was Krackers, (Karl Verdallen) there was one bloke with fairy wings & another with lady's pink knickers in 2nd practice. Lets just say they lost a bet.

Don't forget Unsworth and Dawes pulled the lap record down too....

I'm not surprised, those times were fricken blistering. Photos of the rig look a bit funny though with all that ride height. Looks like they put 4WD tyres on it to cope with the outstandingly surfaced back straight.

My girlfriend asked what was up with that & the only answer I could give was " they race sidecars, it's a different sense of humour "

The start of the second race ( last one of all ) was amazing, the sustained loss of traction blew me away & I have video of the them all approaching & exiting the sweeper on the main straight, I've watched it five times already. WOW!
For those who prefer pictures :shit::shit:

Freeview should have the whole day broadcast live IMHO.

It was highly amusing. We had the same rear tyre we ran there two years ago which is getting a bit hard. Parked up for the restart looking at the black line, we estimated we had smoked it up through two gears for about 130 metres.

I'm surprised it didn't just stall with your fat pie eating arse on the back of it

For Bill Newton, it would have been like a re-run of the dipper on the fourth lap in the second race the other week eh?
