In the last 30 years, I can only think of two national champs who've never been - Mike Brown and AC. Brown would've gone in 2001 and 2002 but '01 was after 9/11 and we didn't send a team and I think 02 was the year we tried to build a track or something for it and it fell through, so neither were totally the fault of the selection committee.

I can't remember why AC didn't go in '19 when he was national champ. What he hurt?

On Brown, you forgot the massive drama of 2005 when, supposedly, someone with a lot of pull convinced PC to give him slow engines and cause him to drop in the 125 outdoor standings and also influenced him right off the MXDN team in favor of a friend.

Wattsy won the 1996 Australian 500cc title on his KTM 360 (I think) complete with headlight.  If I recall correctly it was only one round that year, but I could be wrong.
