Very very very very nice! Good consistant times there, love hearing about it - it was driving me crazy that all the reports of the Jamboree I heard didn't include your times even though it appeared you were there. What tyres are you running on it these days? I know you got very fast on the drag radials but not sure at what point (if?) you went to a full slick.

BezerkR32 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 congratulations to you and your team as it sounds like you were all busy. Nothing like putting in the hard yards and beeing rewarded with numbers like those. not sure if many people can appreciate whats involved in getting a car to be that fast and also consistent like you have your car running know. big well done.

Doing all ozzy GTR fans proud. Haha I am in a bit of a pickle here, I love seeing these guys go quicker but between the fact I have watched Reece McGregor gradually go faster since 1998 and the fact that Heat Treatments are from NZ I feel a certain amount of compulsion to cheer them on too - so I'll keep cheering, but quietly hope the 7.57s mark doesn't get cracked until HT are racing again haha.

2rismo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Lith, if the record gets bashed by Mark, that will spur the HT boys on even more. It's great when records get broken and the recordholder is still in the game.

It's great when records get broken and the recordholder is still in the game. Very true, actually. Best of both worlds!! Either way, Mark's car as clearly well up to the task of giving the HT lads a good run for their money in a race - he's gone quicker than the HKS R33 could do on Willowbank. If there is ever going to be an event with both there, I will travel to see it!

markr34gtr Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 that would be nice to see side by side 7 sec passes....world first for gtr fans... we are very happy with our progress with the car but still have a way to go the 7.5s but we now have the power on board to run 7.5 just need to tame it down of the start line and get the 60ft times down to low 1.2s ... our next meeting is the spring top fuel event about 3 weeks i think... should be great... cheers, mark Very true, actually.

Best of luck for that, and yes - can see that the power is up there by the way the car wiggles around at half track... all HT's faster runs the car looks like it wants to check things out on the sides of the track, probably does near half a km on some passes haha. There are some people in the UK doing mid/low 8s who seem to think the only thing holding them back from running 7s now is adding the power - I'd love to know what its like in the car when you are getting down the strip but from the safety of the side of the track it looks like the whole run gets a lot more dicey as you start trying to push the thing down the strip in under 8s.
