Fastest lap times at Taupo

**FROSTY:Me** · 13th May 2009, 13:43

Just need to sort out a lil disagreement.
What is the out out bike lap record for Taupo track 1--the A1GP track ??
What are the 600 guys doing?

For the record my oponent is argueing that Stroudy and ray clee were doing 1.14s on the thou's
I thought 1.30's were more like the numbers.

We have both recieved our ex factory suzuki GSXR 1000 K7 race bikes and with 200hp on tap atw the lap times are going to tumble! Actually it should have been a seperate blog but 2 days after recieving the bike and on my first ride i managed to smash the current Taupo track record for a motorcycle with a 1.30 lap time

Guess he must have been back there since this event to go and do a 1-30 flat, good work, shaving a whole .9 of second off

Your oponent may be confused with track 2.

Mate keep in mind Im the bloke that did a 2.05 on the OZZIE450

The A1 GP cars can beat my short-track PB on the long track...

Does this mean the A1 GP cars are fast or you are slow?

You might be hard to beat this weekend Cookie if everyone can stay upright and get a race in!

We did it in 1 minute flat on a bucket sidecar......... But that was the old taupo way back in the early 90's

**Two Smoker** · 13th May 2009, 20:09

I did 1:34 on a stock ZX-6R. 1:32's for a 600 im guessing.

1.30.9 is a one thirty in my book, a high 130, but a one thirty all the same.

It's all accademic however. It's 1.9 seconds quicker than the previous lap record, held by one Mr A Stroud riding the very same machine.

Hmmmm.
