Great vid . History in play here folks - oval piston NR ! - still the most exotic modern motorcycle racer ever produced - so rare to see any footage of one racing . I saw it run at Oran park the same year , it had a glorious exhaust sound - like a 1000cc RC30/ V8 , the main straight was very short at Oran Park and the HRC guys didn't have any ratio's short enough . It was clocked at 280 in 5th gear !- Campbell couldn't select 6th !
What agreat race !! Dowson on fire agree with you mate ,i think you got round 1 i guess Oran park and 3 at Lakeside from what i heard here ,yep i know. Cheers mate
Great fun commentating with Will Hagon and John Smailes
Man, I love watching Dowson ride those early FZRs, he was FAST!

That's when we had an ABC . Eight cents a day . Murdoch has overseen the halving of their budget . Four cents a day . That's fair .
