Default GT8888 in car video Mallala race track
In car video of the BF GT around Mallala race track down at the FPV Track Day last year.

Not the cleanest lines around the track but still heaps of fun. The put up witch's hats to slow us down . Top speed I got to on the day was around 170.

First time I have used you tube so I hope it works.

Cheers

Brad

Hey Brad, that was great! And your car sounded awesome too, could really hear it! I hope you still have some tread left on your tyres!!!

Did you do any more laps or just the one?

Good stuff! Hope things are well with you.

Looks like a good time, but they ruin it with the witches hats, slows you down just when it gets going.

Nice Sounds beast by the way.

Yeah would have been better if the weren’t there but still heaps of fun. The video really doesn’t seem to show that I was going that quick but I had my foot to the floor whenever I could.

Exhaust does sound nice….gotta love the DiFillipo !!

Cheers

Brad

Last week at Phillip Island on a stock standard GSX-R1000, standard everything including stock road rubber. Check this out for quick :-> . Not posting as a putdown or anything, just a little pointer as to how fast a stock litre bike is. I ride them at tracks all the time and they still blow me away.
