EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling era of motorcycle racing in 1939. The image showcases the legendary Walter Rusk striking a pose with his supercharged v-4 AJS bike during the Senior TT race. With an impressive power output of 55 b. h. p. , Rusk's machine was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with on the track. However, despite its raw power and Rusk's undeniable skill, fate had other plans for him that day. Despite pushing himself and his machine to their limits, he could only manage an 11th place finish in the highly competitive Senior race. Nevertheless, this setback did not deter Rusk from leaving his mark on motorcycle racing history. It is worth noting that shortly after this eventful race, Walter Rusk went on to achieve a remarkable feat at the Ulster GP Clady circuit. He fearlessly lapped it at speeds exceeding 100 mph – a testament to his unwavering determination and exceptional riding abilities. This extraordinary photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when speed and adrenaline ruled supreme on two wheels. It captures both the excitement and challenges faced by racers like Walter Rusk as they pushed themselves beyond their limits in pursuit of victory.
