International Festival of Speed. https://www.internationalfestivalofspeed.com/

It was the Barry Sheen for 16 years but then his widow asked for money so unfortunately Barry's name was dropped. Nothing was a problem for any of the international riders all obliging with photo's & autographs.

Your mate Chivo had the sweetest sounding Konig 500 outfit there.

That's a shame that something that was done to honour our 'adopted' Australian "Bazza" had to be renamed.

Anyway looks like a great thing to be at !

There wouldnt be many Konig outfits around. I  bet it did sound sweet too. Wonder whose it was.
My dad used to race hydroplanes in the 60's. He used a 3cyl 500 Crescent. Some tried them in bikes but never as good as the Konig.
'Kiwi on a Konig' is a wonderful read about Kim Newcombe and the development of the Konig engine in bikes

A mate is trying to talk me into going to the Island Classic he says that is a great meeting.
