(pussies....)
anyway, the bikes as you can see are only a metre or 2 apart......and this is at 170mph in the real currency.......![]()
(about 270-280kmh)
The entire race was like this, they swapped positions on the track sometimes 5 or 6 times per lap..........it was, at the time, the most exciting 20 lap Unlimited Grand Prix ever seen in the country ( this was the first season for the TZ750's......)
They knocked 8.85 seconds off the old lap record, after repeatedly lowering it over the course of the GP....
Warren Willing edged out Gregg Hansford by less than a wheels width after a monumental breaking duel on the last lap. What a race - wish I had been there to see it ( my first Bathurst was 1979)
