Dave and Clarky are travelling up to Alice for this one,with their Kawasaki zx12 and zx14.
New PB and empty cartons all round for " TEAM BUSTED ARSE "
If they remember anything of the trip it will be interesting!
Good luck .

Had a ball me and Dave were only .002 difference in qualifing me being quicker (6.70)which made us the first non wheely bar bikes this is my second time time to Alice and as the previous time with the the air I lost 7-8 MPH at the MPH tap there were quite a lot other bikes that should of out quailfied me and Dave but they all struck clutch problems or had issues or we would of be bumped from 5th &6th down to 10 or 11 th but getting to see the Top fuel bikes run and to meet Athol Williams was terrific Athol made a 3/4 pass on Saturday evening just on dusk (no track lights at Alice Springs)and shut it down at about a 150ft from the top end for 6.55 pass at 212MPH with heaps of flames which will be a track record.All up it was about 5400KM round trip but if you ever get thet the chance get yourself to ASID lovely people and a terriffic track.Once I work out how 2 upload some videos and photos I will can any one help with this??

Was a good time even if i did have a few issues with my bike towards the end.

I'm not sure what the numbers ended up but someone was saying that it was the largest field of top bikes to race in the country.

The top orange naked busa had a small dry shot and was pulling some big mph through the traps. Definately some different sites with things like four-wheelers with wheely bars.

Great shots , but if you drink less the night before you may get less camera shake!!!
