Supercars and superbikes??

[blueblade]

Dont remember the exact years but in the early seventies (and perhaps before) there were motorcycle street races in Hamilton in roughly the same area as the current Supercar circuit. Remember Ginger Molloy there on his "motarded" Bultaco dirt bike. Also remember a guy on a then brand new beautiful Z1 900 Kwaka smashing into the haybales at the roundabout at the end of the straight between the Founders Theatre and Frankton.
They even had sidecars. Was an awesome spectacle.

No Fucking Way, we got Hamilton Street track for V8 and supporting races, we got Gravel Roads for WRC, and we got a Hampton Downs track for Bikes and WSB why do we need to race bikes on a car track, hell down here in the Waikato we got a track for everything and everything and they are all used with international events.

Okay, Hamilton has staged a V8 Supercar street race and Macau has a similar street race with all sorts of machinery, from single seaters to touring cars and Superbikes racing along what seems to be an armco lined tunnel.

For a variety of reasons (I'm being diplomatic here) it'll never happen, but in an alternate reality if they included Superbikes at the Hamilton event would you be prepared to race in it?

Yeah, yeah, dangerous as fuck yada yada, but as a purely hypothetical question, as a racer, would you be prepared to have a crack or not?

Sure you can potter about at 8/10's, but see the pic below from Macau....does it look like he's not trying?

It would sure be a spectacle but street racing is not usually mixed. Id be a little concerned that with the amount of rubber the cars shed plus fluids it could potentially be a nasty cocktail?

Nope thats not funny............nope it isnt funny

I wanna see the V8's and the Bikes on the track at the same time.....

Nope...not in its current form. Racing for me is a balance between level of enjoyment vs risk of serious injury. I know there are plenty of other guys on here who would do it and I know I'll get called softcock etc.
