To say Chris Watson was visibly faster than anyone else at this meeting would be  a gross understatement.

Well that's about it for my photos. I may be able to scrape up a few more over some time but you will have to be patient. Thank you for the encouraging comments guys.

I agree Pancho,..great shot. By the way, how did you pull up after your little mishap. Hope
all is good.

I'm OK thanks Mark, my shoulder was a bit sore for a week or so but it's ok now. I have started stripping the 'hot rod ' XT motor down for inspection and I suspect a bent valve after dropping the clutch on full throttle at the start gate with nuetral nicely selected Twice!. Need to sort out the clutch drag problem as well.  Makes it very hard to push start when it rolls up to compression. Then there is my nice chrome ex pipe with baked on burnt oil after the thing caught fire at the grid! Had a fun day anyhow! cheers pancho

 That was certainly a great selection of pics from rpm275! Tivoli looked like 'Slider City'!

I have some video of Chris watson at Broadford from 1990 or 1991 Aussie Title meeting, he was the only one to keep it sliding from the bottom left hander all the way through the right hander back to the pit corner left hander, seeing the dirt rosster tail change sides was something else. i will see if i can find some time to upload it to Boobtube and link it here.

I got these pics a couple of days ago from Mark, Slider 29, Crump senior on one of the Romsey specials that were spoken of earlier,



And here's the lad himself.



Thanks, Mark. Foss

Great shot that if I do say so myself. My dad took the pic. Crumpy was flying on the TZ that day.
Well over 100mph on the straights. Thanks for putting it up for me Foss.
