It was hilarious as he's about 6'4" trying to squeeze onto a toy. He did win a lot of races on it, but most of the competition was YZ/CR80 motors in AR50 or RS125 frames.

It made something like 33hp @ 13,500rpm. It wouldn't pull below 11,000 and revved to just over 14,000. Faaaaantastic.

Was your mate Jason Absalom? I didn't really know him, only met a couple of times briefly. His Krauser was bloody quick though! His old man had big pots of money.
I did the last two Anglo-Irish 80cc Match Races at Cadwell Park in '91 & '92. I think Jason was at both of those?
Jason won the 80cc championship in '91. I won the championship in '92 but he didn't come out to play, I think it was the last year it was run?
