250 or 350 its still a mean feat, the 350 was a slug also. old school 4 stroke v's 2 stroke was NEVER an even match

Well said.
Would anybody else think you would have a chance against a Mega 2 on a TT350?
This was fantastic riding.
The cat and mouse was a sight to see.

It's a 350.  It is the same bike that was at Conondale (only it was running on both carbs this time)
Fruitcake (Brett) owns it.  He was on the F XR500.

This is just some gossip.
I was in communication with a former Queensland Pro MX and SX racer today and the word is that there will be quite a few Ex pro boys at the VMX nationals this year.
I have requested the names of these riders but I may never see the list as these boys are tight.

That story the illustrates why motocross is the best motorsport in the world. Every other form of motorsport relies on spending cubic dollars to be competitive.

Your average modern racer might disagree, but you don't need bling, titanium and tatoos to go fast. Big B@lls and skill will do it every time.

We had a similar rider in the Thumper Nats 10 years or so back. He would turn up on a bog stock KLX250 [and a ratty on at that] and run with fast guys on their much modified fourstrokes. It was great to watch. Long live the underdog!!!

It was good to see the TT running on both carbs this time, it has inspired me to clean out the DR's carb for the next meet.
