Bit like them aussy superbike kids running faster times than the world superbikes at phillip Island!!

Yeah but half the reason for that example is they're (probably) using Dunlop slicks instead of the Pirellis

Nah, you've gotta be there, eh.

At bathurst its soooo thight heading back down the hill and steep, you need sheapers or a super winch.
Don't know how they manage to pass their.
Felt like our rental ford was going to scrap both sides on the way down.

Other then race days its a two lane road!!!

Only been there twice. Two laps in our camper van - one looksee and one hot lap...........

And last Easter Sunday morning, was looking forward to a few laps on the hired BMW 1200GS - but the track was closed for a race meet!!!!

Could not believe how steep the dipper was??? The one dimension of photography destroys the aspect of terrain. A reason why MX never looks as good on TV as being there, eh.
