Rumour of a v8/superbike grudge race

[FROSTY:Me]

I don't know 100% if this is true.
I've been told theres going to be a lil er "grudge " race being held at the
V8 racing at Pukekohe this weekend.
It seems a Certain fairly fast bike racer on a gixxr thou is going head to head racing an auzzie V8.
Given how darn close to the outright lap record he and 2 auzzie guys on production superbikes got --The race will be --er very interesting.

They givin' the car a head start.

They better after the TT meeting....!

Though my understanding is that the V8's are a way off the lap record

[ajturbo]

then.. it's not you?....

[Kickaha]

I'd be betting on the car

[White trash]

I'd be betting on the car

Not from a standing start I wouldn't.

[bistard]

I cant see the V8 boys wanting to do that!!
Who will ride the bike "Stroudy"??
I remember a few years ago they had a combined NZ V8 & bikes,when the Formula Extreme bikes where there,Kevin Curtain & a few others came over,I laughed like fuck,because the bikes were faster in the wet,than the NZV8s were in the dry,I do realise NZV8s are a different kettle of fish,but was still funny

Just to add on the rumour mill frosty i've been told by a friend not confirmed but i think it'll happen that andrew is riding a turbd thou gsxr thar he's been on before and is fitting his suspension off his current superbike and racing a A1 gp car for who's got the outright fastest lap and they re looking at 54 sec don't no if it's a A1 car or a V8 but word was a A1 car and i don't think they'll be beginning at the same time prob rolling start and half a track apart

Wow that sounds interesting, would be bloody awesome if it eventuated.
A bit of excitement for all the spectators.

Brad--funny thing is I heard the same thing -except its actually a full brake/suspension/cosmetic swap out--er in other words itll look like the bike he usually races

[MadDuck]

Anyone thats at the V8's I will be on the inside of the hairpin for the three days in my amblince.

Ill be in one of those white tent thingies which is right on the hairpin....will give ya a wave as a sup my beer

What's the current V8 lap record? Bugden got 56.6 at the Nats, didn't he? I thought that the V8's were in the 58's. Would be cool to see how the bike annihilates the car down the back straight.

A bike vs. A1 car though? I reckon the A1 car would mince it. I'd be surprised if the turbo GSXR is quicker than the standard Stroud-spec one, even around Puke. (EDIT: Hope I'm wrong)

[Morcs]

Stroud would kick arse

He throws the K7 around at a fair rate of knots...

Sounds like fantasy to me. No A1GP cars are allowed to be run unless it is a sanctioned event by the A1GP people. They also can't run the cars without a team of engineers from Zytek (the engine builders) on hand.

OK OK, eveeryone calm down. I have been through the minute by minute with a fine tooth comb. And have the official word right here.

At 1405hrs on Sunday 22nd April, there will be a "Shoot Out" between a "Superbike" and Toyota series open wheeler. It mentions nothing of the method. See you there.

txt me how much the toyota get anihlated by

i think you should put that the other way round, looking at the times from the last meeting there i'd say the toyota would be able 2 secs a lap faster.
