Wednesday 5th March 2014 - Racing
Norm Hardinge and his 1934 Roadster and has driven it here and at Bonneville finally realising his dream of a 200MPH roadster.
Scott Lewis (our flying doctor) and Craig Jericho drove this little G/PRO 1979 Ford Escort to 109MPH and 108MPH respectively.
The amazing little Postie Bike. Owned and built by David Plecas this 1992 Honds CT110 running in A-BF 125 class ran an amazing 111.476MPH.
Gary Satara had trouble with his methanol injection system today and could only manage 120.935MPH
David Bolger riding his 1989 Suzuki RGV250 in MPS-G 250 set a new record of 140.46MPH
The workmanship has to be seen to be believed in Mike Davidsons new streamliner
Line up at Long track startline.
Neil Davis at the wheel of Norm's 1934 Roadster on his record run.
Motor in Gary Satara's C/BFMS 1984 XJ S Jaguar is originally from his old showcar called Ovakill
