Back in the day, Craig's competitions were no-holds-barred - whatever you could think of to get the big numbers.
The entrants were tiny and smooth, and the numbers were over 400 MPG.
Things have changed, and the competition is more practical now. No tricky riding (P&G) and no more tiny bikes that require a tight tuck. The big winner (edit: back then)was obviously doing P&G, as he modified the trans so he could get a neutral from top gear.
