It seems hard to believe that this picture was taken 11 years ago. Dave Quinn, aboard the Shadowfax Kawasaki, doing some laps during the lunch break at the BSFoS, Eastern Creek Raceway, 2012. Dave shared the track with Graeme Crosby on an RG500 Suzuki and, even though the Croz finished the demo laps in front of him, he was able to claim that he won his class.
I have detailed the Shadowfax story here from start to finish. For those who haven’t read it, it started with this…
….and became this…
..as close as we could get it to this…
as it was ready to race at Bathurst in 1981.
It’s a great story and it’s fitting that Dave is still the only person who has actually ridden the bike. One day I might be able to, I certainly hope so.
