Beware Hoff, I've seen an old bloke punt a GTR around Eastern Creek on crappy tyres, scraping shit off it all over the shop, cleaning up plenty of youngsters on sportsbikes and lapping in mid 1.50's.
Whats that saying about old age and treachery v Youthful enthusiasm

Perhaps EC would be a better venue?

Was gonna suggest Broadford but too small for either bike to use any of their top end, as long as it's on video then matters not where it is, private track would be good though, then it's just the two of you

Sorry Hoff, you're going down like a hooker at a bucks night. I've seen a GTR ridden in anger, and even had a go myself, and I reckon he's gonna hose you...and that's with the hardest tyres he can find cos it'll be chewin them so quick getting that beast around a corner he'll need them just to last the distance.

people, go on throw your money away on the QE2, I will hose him, no probs
Neka the odds are a bit short on Strika.
Should be
$1.85 Hoffy
$2.50 Strika

Ive had an RX (the same motor as the GTR) and a 12...
I still think its gonna be awful close....
Money is still on Strika as he has less to lose and at the track its all about how far you are prepared to push it and I think you just love your 12 too much to risk it Hoffy.... what
were you thinking mate ?
As long as those "touring tyres" go round far enough and he can lean the sucker over

Let's make it a Grand ($1000) then, instead of $100 if you are so confident Hoffy!!!!!!

Sound like a recipe for GTR extermination to me. Some poor unsuspecting GTR out there doesn't know what's about to happen to it.
Gunna take a lot of corners to gain back the straight losses there Strika. 95 Calais vs 07 HSV sorta thing.
Love shack that's where it at ..
