Postie race bike!

There's still footage of those races around, NZSBK are doing a run this year on historical/hysterical moments at the Cem Cct as a build up to the 60th so keep your eyes peeled I'm sure this will be one of them.

One of the best races I ever watched there was Simon Turner on his RS250 going hammer and tongs with the late great Robert Holden on his 916 Superbike. Was an awesome race I reckon!!!

They also have a ex Freddie Spencer RC30 dripping with HRC parts on there as well

I remember it. Just. I've raced against him on KR1's I think. He was still fast as when he was older.

What do you mean by 'was'?
I am hopeing one option that comes to mind is not the case...

Anyone that's ridden to the level he has is fast until the day they die mate.

First road race I ever did as a yoof was at Gracefield in Lower Hutt. I was 18 at the time I think. Raced my road bike, an 83 GPZ1100.

Scared the living fucking shit out of me. I was being helped by Dennis Newton, and after the first practice session told him I'd just been carved up by an old geezer on a Ducati 900SS.

He said to me "Don't beat yaself up too badly. Nothing wrong with being dusted of by Hugh Anderson".

I was in Wanganui (no fucking H) when Richard Scott raced one of these. A little too young to know what I was looking at but I am sure I have pix somewhere.

I think it was the 89 - 90 season. Scotty was the first to go round the track in a sub min lap with a 0.59.???? pretty high. It was indeed a great meeting. I was on my Honda 455 in F2.

I could be wrong here (had more than a few beers since the 80's) but i have a feeling it was 86 and he was the first to break the 50 sec barrier. I kinda remember cause I managed just under 60 sec in practice then the old tz shit itself and I didn't get to race. It was still an outstanding meeting and I can still remember tjhe sight and sounds of that RS in full flight..Spectacular

Haha! Yeah it was86/ 87 season and remember when we were at Ruapuna that same year and Scotty let a very much younger Aaron Slight have a ride on it and then quickly flagged him from the circuit when he started to go too fast on it LOL,Those were the days!!!
