i mean in a 32 gtr. I'm pretty sure the time quoted for skaife is during the race, but one of the gtr's i think was in the 12's in qualifying.

Edit...it was Dick Johnson in the sierra that did a 2:12.898. that's flying.

Still...why can't anyone get their 32's to do 2:14's? (yes i know berry has done a 2:13 in the r34, but that's with modifications outside the rules of 1992....aero, suspension etc).

multi million dollar budget would be stopping most i would think.

people seem to think there is only a small difference between people building race cars in there back yard and cars that are profesionaly built. theres a huge difference. and if you have ever looked at any of the pics most or all of the suspension has been changed. that would factor for a fair bit.

If you were at SAU:NSW Christmas dinner last year with Alan Heaphy and Jim Richards, you'd understand why...

I would...but I got extremely drunk and cannot remember...lol

Was Mark (Berry) running full slicks or Semis? That could easily equate to a few seconds, but as has been said, would love to know what Heaphy and Jim had to say, would also love to hear Chubs recollection of the night, apart from the bit where he takes a bloke home...
