Veteran dirt tracker thrills the crowds on V-twin special
The roar of a special Godden 1000cc V-twin ridden by the great Chris Watson brought dirt-track crowds to their feet at Muswellbrook last weekend.
The one-off bike, build by Kenny Russell, is a weapon, especially with Watto on board. Watto holds over 120-odd titles in track racing.
Kenny Russell succumbed to cancer last year after building the bike, and unfortunately never had the opportunity to see it ridden.
Watson gave the bike its debut, and rode like he’d not even left the sport after retiring a few years back. The first race was a cracker, with Rowan Tungate on a 650 Triumph throwing everything he had at Chris. With the experienced and still hugely talented Chris not holding back at all, he stirred the crowd into a frenzy.
There are two more long track meetings soon – March 21 at Gunnedah and April 11 at Tamworth – as well as the Casey Stoner Cup on March 15 at Kurri Kurri.
