I'm on the hunt for information on Tony Gill , Bill Snelling or Westgate racing.

Tony Gill is\was an English racer based in NSW Australia who rode a series of various-sized CB72 Honda's. He won the 500 race at Vintage Daytona in the 90's on an example owned by Westgate Racing's Bill Snelling.

Bill was a racer, then team owner/builder, and ran a series of Honda race bikes in the 80's and 90's

Bill at the time owned a security company called Westgate security.

I own one of Bill's bike's, a CB500/4 and am trying to track down some history.

Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I'll talk to a friend of mine, he's a genius with these old bikes you mention and his bikes hold many Aussie championships , i'm sure he would be able to help, I'll pass on this to him and see what he says...

Well I was right, my friend built those bikes, all except the 500/4..., I'll send you a PM mate....

If even a little bit of the magic of those twins rubbed off on that 500/4 you have something special.

You've worked it out mate...   I spoke to Jerry last night Brent, he's still in the middle of selling off everything, talking about buying a caravan and doing some touring, which is nothing new, just no race tracks this time round... He sounded well...

Good news Mick, I wish him well. He's quite a Jerry.  I'll send him an email soon.

Mick, very grateful for your time and invaluable information.

Let's hope something has rubbed off. If not it is good to know it came from a good family even though it may be the runt of the litter!.
