WA Busa Speed Trials

[Ward P]

I have looked briefly into Corowa airfield and found the council very enthusiastic....

Hey Maj,
that sounds very promising.....
we could go very fast on the ground.....
......and then do the same in the air !!!!


.....I'd be up for some of that sweet action !!!!

OOOOooo, Now that would be interesting. Beats 315 (indicated on the wildly optomistic '99 speedo) up some huge long bumpy straight up Buckets way. (Just a dream I once had)

I'd be really interested on how "in the real world" my dead stock '99 would stand up in top speed against all the later models and modifieds.

Corowa has 2 strips. 1827m and 1524m. Seeing as how my 'busa will pull 290ish down the main straight at PI and it's 900m, I reckon probably entering at about 160(funny, not really watching the speedo at the time) and I enter turn 1 at 220ish, I reckon 1.8km would well and truely top it out. Even better - it's just down the road from where my place is.
