My claims to fame

Racing Anthony Gunter's brother here in Darwin (TM125 v BMW450), does that make me fast by association?

On my TM125 at CD7 I chased Dave Tanner for a few laps on his RH250, I didn't pass him but didn't fall too far behind. Truth is I don't think he knew I was there! ;D

At the QLD vintage titles this year I led a 125 championship race for 4 of 5 laps. Unfortunaltely none of those laps were the last one.

Two years ago I beat my mate Muz in a barrel race. It was the first time I'd beaten him in ANY motorcycle event in nearly 40 years
The older I get, the faster I was

TT

Not on a motocross track, but I did beat Kevin Schwantz once.
Unfortunately, it was in an off road race and it was 10 years ago........  ::)

I passed Bob Hannah twice at Unadilla, once on the way to the beer tent and once on the way back.

If I may use "beaten" instead of "passed"---I beat Kirk Hutton at Dargle Thumper Nats some years ago-----at table tennis back at the motel.
