Bummer! Tom crashed twice during practice in Australia and was unable to get the bike sufficiently repaired to make the grid in any of the heats. That’s racing!
Fortunately, Tom’s injuries were minor. Hopefully, Tom will have better luck in his next event.

Randakk’s is pleased to announce associate sponsor relationship with Team Eyeball Engineering Race Team for ’08 Australia Assault
Team Eyeball Engineering is the race team of Dr. Thomas Marquardt of Granby, Colorado. “Dr. Tom” is well know in vintage Honda circles. He has campaigned CBXs and other vintage Hondas with distinction in numerous road racing series.
“Dr. Tom” and the CBX racebike he will campaign in Australia
Dr. Tom has been invited to participate in a prestigious vintage road race series in Australia in January, 2008. Tom will represent AHRMA in the International Challenge for Vintage Superbikes.
This series is hotly contested. I’m certain that the addition of Randakk’s Cycle Shakk decals will cause a quantam leap in performance! Seriously, this machine is a very nice piece and Tom is an accomplished pilot. With decent luck, he should do quite well.
These races will be held on the infamous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Tom will be putting together a recap article in an upcoming issue of the CBX Xpress Magazine. I plan to document his exploits here as well.
The Island Classic runs January 26 – 28, 2008 and celebrates a grand tradition of historic motorcycle racing. This is the fifteenth annual running of the event. Randakk’s is pleased to provide assistance for this effort and wishes Dr. Tom great success in Australia! Stay tuned for results.
“Dr. Tom” at speed in previous action!
