Where He said they should be..

Yeah, that's what I meant, worded poorly. I thought it was him and a couple of other riders? But could be wrong (usually am!).

Not enough people in this country know about amazing talents of Kim Newcombe, and unfortunately John Britten's brilliance is destined to be forgotten too.
They should have renamed the North and South Islands after these two.

I don't see why not. Even just a place name.

We have McLaren Drive/Falls, Hamilton.....

We need Newcome Estate unfortunately sounds like a retirement village though. Lake Newcome? Isle of Britten?

There was a guy in ChCh back in the early eighties, Earl Nun or something like that. He had a mercury outboard engine ( I seem to recall it was 200 hp?) in a drag bike. I saw it run at hawkesbury in '81. It was very very quick.

I heard that another film was being made about Kim Newcombe, there was some big shitstorm between Richard Driver (the producer Of love Loss and speed) and the guy who came up with the original idea, lots of recrimination etc. Anyway the more light that gets shed on this story has to be a good thing. Supposedly even more original footage has been found. be great to see.

In the 70's this was done with a Snowmobile engine jet which has a CVT.
it had Mag Monocoque Disks mag air suspension lots of avant guard stuff.
A Jet ski engine might be easier to work with.
