Formula Xtreme - Heidi - 09-08-2000
Anyone going to Oran Park on Sunday for formula xtreme?
Re: Formula Xtreme - Gary and Joanne - 09-08-2000
Gary and I are planning on being there. I was going to post a message about it later today, but you beat me to it! Hopefully there'll be a few people going. I posted a message last week suggesting a ride this coming weekend, so if there's enough interest then a few of us heading in the same direction could ride together. How about it guys?

Wish I could go, but it's a bit far for a weekend from Perth!
If you do go give a cheer to my mate The BIG KAHUNA
You will recognise him he is huge, rides a ZX11R Eddie Lawson Rep in the naked class.
You may have seen him in some mags with comparo between Hayabusa and WRX STI.
If you live in Sydney call up to Central Coast Motorcycles at Gosford and have a chat to him, a good guy!
Regards
Jeff.

What time are you leaving Jo?
Jeff - what was the outcome of the Busa Vs WRX...?
Formula Extreme - Jeff Banbury - 09-08-2000
Hi Fox,
The Hayabusa absolutely murders the car in acceleration and top speed. (The STI is limited to 180kph) but on a road like the Old Pacific Highway it would prove very difficult to get away from or past a well driven STI. Because of the All Wheel Drive to fire it out of corners and its ability to brake and slide into the corners. A stock STI has 206kw and can accelerate to 100kph in approx 4 seconds so it is no slouch. Once you hit Peats Ridge though, it is no contest. I don't think the STI would know which way the Hayabusa went!. I think the car is only capable of mid 13 second quarter miles.So it is relatively SLOW compared to our bikes capabilities.
Regards
Jeff.

We're thinking of heading out of Sydney at about 8:00am on Sunday morning Fox. Is that too early for you?

Re: Formula Extreme - gtb01 - 12-08-2000
