Just heard this time was run at Willowbank today! Great to hear! Gives HKS a hurry up, maybe they'll bring the 33 out of retirement?

I believe the previous record was 7.67 @ 181.7 mph?

From what I hear, Reese's car still has some time to come yet, with .1 of a second to find in the 60ft and raise the limiter so it's not banging hard up against it over the last 100ft or so.........

Jambo should be good!

Congrats to the NZ team, it's been one of the longest standing drag records ever and it's awesome to finally see it broken :happy:

It did have those issues last week when it was running the 7.7s... I'd say they've cleaned it up to hit 7.59, that's an AWESOME time.

HKS car won't come out of retirement, i'll put bets on that.

Congrats alright! :happy:

Apparently, todays run was done with a rev limit of 9500. It was still hitting the limiter, so now they've worked out they need 11,000, so thats where it gonna be set! Work it out.... if it gets close to 11 grand, she'll crack 200mph!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!

It was also black-tracking the entire quarter, so she aint lacking! :angry:

According to someone on the GTROC-UK forums (the same someone that did HPI's HKS Evo Tsukaba car article, who was physically in the same room as the R33) the HKS R33 is sitting pretty after being freshly rebuilt, so I dare say once word trickles round it will be back out soon.

Congratulations that is a massive achievement.

would be great if HKS roll out there car again. bring back the GTR drag glory days of the 90s. Veilside have not been standing still either and when I was there earlier this year the owner told me they have now run a 7.6 on slicks with their 32 which smashed their previous best of 8.XX (poor memory) on radials. Not sure if their 7.6X was in testing or competition or what though. He told me it was just a bees dick off HKS's record.

Yeah sorry to go off topic BUT can anyone confirm who owns GTR700 now?

Is Mario still the owner or has CRD taken ownership?

It will be CRD's car when it makes its return.

Congrats to the Heat Treatments team

Jambo will be a fanastic meet - looking forward to seeing many official record-breaking numbers!

Also, Rigoli has run an 8.1 in the 2 door 3.3L WRX STI, so plenty of 4wd action.
