Bit tough with the local lads huh???

#159 is Rodney Knapp & #25 is Dave Martin

My guesses are

1. Croz at Daytona;

2. Agostini on the Yamaha, possibly at a reunion event (Assen 1998?);

3. Warren Willing at Bathurst.

Jeff Sayle was my initial thought, but am thinking Gardner at Daytona circa 1980 Moriwaki Kwaka

Ago at Goodwood demo on a 500 Yamaha, ex Sheene. Possibly only a an across the frame 4, not a square 4, but with later suspension

Donny Pask....TZ750

1. Correct (wearing Jeff Sayles helmet)
2. Correct
3. Wrong (I don't know of Donny Pask racing anything in his life)

Derr, my fault, Ray Quincey....

Yes it is indeed Ray.

This one should be a bit harder but, a clue is he won the Formula 2 'Marlboro Series' a few years before this shot.

Tricky, there was no F2 Marlboro series (IN NZ I'm assuming you mean).... It was still 250 and 350 racing classes....

A: Des Barry.

Maybe I've broken the time line rules but the 'Marlboro Series' of '83 I'm sure had Formula 2. Robert Holden ran 2nd on a modified production bike.

No it's not Des Barry.

Last Marlboro Series was 77/78.

Yeah sorry about that it was a 2 meeting series at only Wanganui and Gracefield with 3 races at each and as it was over the Christmas period I just refer to it as the 'Marlboro Series' even though it wasn't. So any idea on this rider then?

**Terrence** · 27th March 2009, 19:05

Ok how about this one?

Randy Mamola RG500 1979-80 season
8th overall. He only rode the 500 in the 4 rounds
4th overall 250 class behind Kork Ballington, Gregg Hansford and Graziano Rossi (He has a rather famous son)
