Keep it going Rosco because there is a concerted effort building to simplify the Slider class otherwise it will become just a memmory.
A bike will only go as fast as you want it to, because of guy's like you who want to ride them we need to keep the class going, I was commenting as someone who lived through the golden years of the Slider and my personal view is that they should be ridden flat strap & sideways, having said that there were a few guy's who were successful on a Slider who rarely slid them, the size of their engines may have helped.
If you build it, they will come.

 You are right Slides a great exponent of winning on a slider with tight lines was K Frazer.

And Trevor Hunter. I recall one instance of the two of them dukin' it out at a very early vintage meeting on the old Amaroo dirt track. They were elbow to elbow all day, hardly an inch separating them on their biggun' JAPs and they rarely, if ever stepped the back wheel out. It alway looked like you could easily get around them by taking them on the outside but to do that you had to get close to them....something much harder than many of us initially thought.

Great to see Trevor Hunter at the Canberra Nats this year, even though he wasn't riding.
