But watch the start very closely. A green clad rider on a green bike has been to the Pete MacDonald school of holeshots, or was the master at said school who learned Pete.......

nah it's Wayne Marshall, he was king of the quick starts those days but faded after a couple of laps or everyone else got up to speed.

So, Bike 93 for a Jump Start anyone? Or is everyone just that damned slow?

How about the black bike to Scott's left ?

I like how they throw the bales so far across the track to keep them from burning they nearly block the track!

best you get your eyes checked i'd say; did you actually see the size of "the control truck" that managed to sail through there at a quick rate even when there's 1/2 dozen bikes stopped in the track?

Was the commentator that wanker Tony Palmer?
He tried to get a bribe from a mate that was in the NZ rally to say his companys name on tv.

Wayne (weasel) still is even tho he has'nt ridden for nigh on 3 years...been classic car racing instead...he turned up at the classic twin shock series on sunday and took out every race.

Legend.

Gorgeous KX too! a 76 is it? He needs to learn how to jump a start proper though...

Aye it is...and some need to learn to finish a race that clip still cracks me up mate.

250 proddies...what a great class.

I did learn eventually mate. Just took a while and a few fairing panels!

I know a lot of people look back and say "those were the days"...but it sure was a fun/strong class back in the day. And such fucking cool bikes.

That's what I'm talking 'bout!!

I was in that race, all of them that weekend. Didn't get lapped in that one!!! Yay. #120, blue leathers with white shoulder and elbow patches, mid feild.
But one thing I regret, is that it all happened so fast that I have no memories of any of it other than the photos (which are few) and videos.
Love the 6 across the line in a straight line for the start grid, 18th century really.

What ever happened to Tonto Bush #4? He was a pretty hard charger as I recall.

They really were the days, and they really were pukka bikes, but I have a strong feeling that the current 250 class is getting back there, step by step.

That's why I write rather large blog posts for every race day I do (well except for one particular one where there was a large gap between the toys and the play pen). I've got a memory like a sieve so I have to write this stuff down as soon as possible otherwise it's lost for good.

Loren Poole went on to work for Britten briefly I think. Never really knew Tonto, but yeah was a hard charger for sure. I still see Tony Sampson from time to time. He's still a hard nut too. Bruce Ainstey always pops in to say 'hi' whenever he's back in town too.
