Pretty sure Loren Poole was the main development rider for the Britten V1000 for a fair while. Him and Jason McEwan raced a pair of them for a couple of seasons.

Only time I was jealous of Loren!

Awesome little video, not bad quality for it's age... I was all of 20 days old on the day of this race... Those guys have balls! (of steel)

Actually it would be sort of really neat to know where the riders are these days. It was a pretty tight community the old 250 Proddy community with riders in each region really being mates. I was in Auckland at Uni in those days so our little AKL/Tauranga community was pretty tight.
I was #120
Poole #134. He went from AKL Uni to Buckley Systems then Britten then Team NZ and is still there I understand on part time contract while running his (parents) orchard down Katikati way. He raced and developed the Britten for a while.
Wynton Tuck, not sure number. Out the back of Katikati now.
The white and green NSR on row two was a nice guy, opened an icecream parlour in St Heliers. Can't recall his name now.
Kevin Goddard. Did he get to race in this one after falling off in the 1/2 hr race?
Clive Mancini
Of course all the front row: Cole, Sampson, Tonto, McCutcheon, Hepburn, Poole
Second row? Ramage, can't recall any others.
I don't think Anstey was in this event was he?
Anyone have the programme? I guess all the entries will be in it.

He needs to learn how to jump a start proper though...

Did that jamie mcnair teach you how to ride Pete?

Yes Steve I did get to race ya cheeky bugger, I know you could probably not see me from that far back!
I have the program and result sheets...remember...
Yes what happened to Tonto... (Clayton Bush)I gave him a brand new Yokohama 003 rear tyre that year at the final round of the nationals and he promised to pay or to get me another tyre, last I ever heard or saw of him. Man they were expensive hoops when I think back...racing is far cheaper today than it was then.

AaaaaaHAAAAAAAA, you HAVE been listening then !!!!!!!!!! Blame the Chow .......

Hahahahaha, I just mean't that I wondered if you had broken something that might have put you out.
Any chance of scanning said programme page and results for me/us?
Back then I didn't really care where I was, just that I was out there having a go.
Racing certainly wasn't cheap as a student, that was for sure. But somehow we got out there and had a go.
Boy, 1990, it is no wonder I don't remember it........

I hope it wasn't me that collected him. In the 1/2 hour a lapper shut the door on me going into Higgins. He let Cole, McCutcheon and Rammage (I think that's right) through, then came right across in front of me going about 20-30 kmh slower. I had already commited to the inside and simply had to brace for impact. Whoever it was went down in a heap.

All the Sawyers names i can think of ... Paul Faint , Pete Swanson, Craig Eddie, Glen Holden, Cliff Tolly (if he wasnt busy on a dirt bike) , Paul Treacy, Me at the back on the MVX !!
