Warrens Lucky Strike RGV makes it to the track









It has been a while since Warren has been on the track on an RGV. Back in the day the Production 250 class was fiercely fought and one year he won the New Zealand Grand Prix. It must be really interesting getting back on the track after all those years to find out where you now stand. The track day was an opportunity to become reacquainted with an RGV and watching Warren from the stands it was interesting to ponder how times have changed with the RGV being the only two stroke amongst all the 'rest'. It must be doubly satisfying for Warren as he has been fettling his RGV for many months for this occasion and watching him circulating, the bike sounded nice and crisp as he accelerated through the esses and powered down the grandstand straight. Dion and Kim popped in with there stopwatch to see how things were going and Dion especially interested with his NSR 250 having spent the previous weekend circulating around Manfeild. Nothing like a bit of healthy competition between the lads. The R6 also got some time on the track and Warren was concerned that he had better stop before he got to carried away with it and damaged something! Revisiting old activities can be a fraught thing at times. It was great to see Warren leave the track with everything intact and already adding to his 'fettling' list for the next time the RGV makes it to some tarmac.
