Joe Holder provided the following on these Aussie Specials..

My name is Joe Holder and I'm a member of IORNZ. I'm a Kiwi living here in Melbourne. I thought I'd send you over some photo's of the recent National Historic race meet at Phillip Island.
More info on the Arundel 8-valve here


The two Indians featured are owned by Peter Arundel, Wigwam Engineering (OHV Chief conversions). The rider is Steve Hari and the Chief Engineer is Lindsay Urquart.
The Scout has twin plug heads among other modifications. The rider is Steve Hari

The 8 valve is a 1924 but with all new casting etc. It's running BSA B33 oil pump gears housed in a aluminum billet block for an oil pump. Lindsay estimated the motor was putting out 100hp. They were putting in lap times of 2:03 (comparable ot a Manx Norton) with a top speed of 140 MPH down the main straight! (Ed: Since clocked at 158.73mph)
Maybe they will fly over for a Trans-Tasman challenge one day! Hope all this interests your followers.
