Actually they did do those times back then,In fact Tony MacMurdo was in the mid 1.14s as far back as 1989 on his Methanol/Nitro Methane burning GPZ500 and a number of other riders outside of Scott also dipped into the high 1.13s including Nathan Spargo(ZXR400L and Terry Fitzgerald (GSXR400) along with Ernie Cudby(FZR400),Brendon Coad(ZXR400 and company all circulating in the 1.14 bracket.
The important thing to remember is,You cant compare laptimes from one day to another let alone 2 decades apart and the rules were different back then and a number of those bikes mentioned were on methanol.
Also how does anybody know any of the laptimes quoted are accurate including the ones produced by the current system?I was timed at a mid 1.12 on an RG150 by the current system in an F3 race in 2007 ??????

You took the slip road back onto the main straight from the hairpin aye. You can tell us mate, it's OK.

Damn electronic timing!

The classic example of "off" times was Roger Freeth - he was always ringing up and quoting fantastic times done in testing at Puke....I'm sure he had the world's slowest stopwatch.

I'd extend that to all stick and ball games, but yeah. I just do not understand them. or their attraction. But you know, some people do, and good for them

What the hell?!???! the twin cylinder commuter bike GPz500, with 16 inch front wheel? I used to have one.....
any pics of the nitro burning beast?
Oh, and presumably no methanol because you can't tell its on fire or not?

In the riders seat
I think there was a supercharged one racing as well

No photos of that exist as far as I know sorry...
Tony's one made "over 80 at the wheel" - he was always a little coy about what it made as it depended on how much nitro he was running at the time.
Mine on a methanol blend - sorry, I'm still a little coy too - made about 72 at the wheel.
The blown one according to the owner of the car dyno we used made something over 100 at the wheel....on 15lb boost and straight methanol.
Ahh - good times....

There's hope for Jimmy's GSX yet then.
OK, so who's next?
Maybe not....but it's fitting.

presumably they ran like champs for 15 minutes then went off like an RPG round into an Al Qaeda base?
