Hey GMC i was going though some old stuff the other day and found the results list for the 1990 Sea Lake Event, i too thought the 88' event was the last but i rode the 1990 event so that may have been it.
i have if you are interested the following
1984, 1985, 1988 programs and the 1990 results list (no GMC though)
in the 1988 program it lists past winners and that no event was run in 1983, 1986 & 1987
in 1990 the overall 3 place getters are (500cc MX class)
1. Cesare Del Farra 209:00 (209 minutes 0 seconds) fast for 4 laps of 95km each = 109 Kmh Average
2. Glen Bowles 209:45
3. Andy Haydon 211:52
How close were these 3 then!
I have a feeling the 89 Sea Lake was cancelled??
I only rode 79, 80 & 88. You must have liked it Hoony to have ridden so many. It was a bit of a social event & I was only interested if some mates were going, probably the thought of someone to drive me home if I cartwheeled
Funny how the times can be so close, Finke can be similar with close times after 4 hrs of flat out.
I pre rode Finke on a hired TT600 in 98 when I pit crewed for some mates, helluva ride to Finke & back in one day, bloody awesome race. It's on my must do list, one day maybe.
Tim, I try not to think about how long ago things were, otherwise I find myself counting decades instead of years.
