    They had officials to keep time on the front runners, so it is fairly accurate.

    They were draconian and normally addes a bit at the end , i had a go at lap scoring for a club once and they counted in full seconds and then rounded them up a bit for error.

    I have a mate with a Suzuki X7 in the shed , i should make him get it out for a play.

    The best tyres money could bludge mate , Yokohama R110 rears and F110 fronts , awesome shit they were. Best on the Metzlers was about 1.21 as they had no cornering ability.
    Ahhh the old days were fun. 250ish proddy bikes , 620 proddy bikes (unless you were on a Suzuki , they had bigger piston kits) lol.

    The idea was to win a race, not to get a pb. Have you thought that's where you are going wrong ?

    Even a moron can hit the stop/start button on a stopwatch at the right time mate. Had a transponder on my 883 when it stopped the clock at 1.19 if that helps ya.

    Had a transponder on my RGV when I did a 1.16 as well. Basically never saw KR1's at the pointy end of a 250 Proddie race once the banana arm RGV's arrived. And thats one F@#ken fast MVX!!! Got a dvd at home showing 250 proddie racing from Manfeild back in those days - and it states on there that Eddie Kattenberg on a TZR was the lap record holder at a 1.19.26 - and considering about the first 30 rows of bikes were TZRs, I'm well impressed a MVX did a 19 flat!

    Think you might need to get your eyesight (and facts) sorted mate. TZR's were well before KR1's. And when I won the 250 proddie TT race at Manfield in 91...it was against a feild full of banana armed RGV's. Bruce Ainstey, Grant Ramage, Johnny Hepburn and Mike McCutcheon were all armed ('scuse the pun) with them. Dave Cole rode an NSR...and there were no TZR's in sight once Tony Sampson changed to an NSR as well. And for the record...minute 16 flat was the go then.

    If you re-read my statement was actually comparing the TZR's and the MVX - not the KR1's.

    Ummmm...no. You stated there were no KR1's at the pointy end of a proddie race once banana armed RGV's turned up no?
