Only an idiot would assume that after 2 meetings on an underprepared bike and with a number of years away from the sport,That Tony was going as fast as he or the bike are capable in stock form,Aye!!!

If you could ride properly the 600's wouldnt be near your times, I have never imagined Billy as a 9yo girl, wouldnt he be more of a skinny trailer park cougar?

how many years did bruce anstey hold the lap record at Ruapuna on a 250??? quicker than the Britten round there at the time too.

I dont see your point at the time the 250 was pretty modern and bruce was an amazing rider on the 250s if you bought out a current modern 250 to NZ and put a great rider on it they would lap most if not all tracks in NZ faster than our superbikes

Big T never goes anywhere under prepd and all though he hasnt done any racing he still does more things on a bike than most of us put together and he is Tony Rees one of our greatest riders ever I think

my point was the Britten was the flagship then, everybody looked at it with awe and those who didn't know the technical side of it it was hard to explain that a bike a quarter of its size was faster.
Even if the lap times slow it won't make the show out there any less spectacular, maybe up to the commentators to be creative when trying to qualify the slower lap times and thats it really

I n defence of our young guys coming through James has shown he is pretty handy on a Superbike as has Sloan. Skatchills pretty fast on a 600 as well. Yes the pool is small but these guys and others to follow from the feeder classes are our future.

Hampton Downs will be a good test, new for everyone. G.
