Month: September 2016

Just to back it up and make sure of it, the boys went out once again and reset the record with a 7.898 @ 187.13 (a 300Km/h run, woohoo!)

A proud photo of the guys, just prior to their removing the ‘chute and driving it down the road for some take away kebabs.  Well done, #1! 🙂

The boys managed to pull out an awesome 7.908 @ 185.46 run today.  Congratulations to Rob and all the boys at CRD for their awesome efforts and dedication in getting an Australian road registered and street legal GTR into the 7 second zone.  That MPH is impressive and should tell everyone quite a lot about what’s to come.  🙂

A truly awesome effort from Rob on the driving and another sincere thanks to all the guys at CRD.  Here’s looking forward to the next stage!

A pass from earlier in the day today.  The track prep leaves a lot to be desired, as evidenced by the 1.31+ second 60 foots its been pulling.

Rob and the boys are trying very hard to get that elusive 7 second pass, at least the car is consistent, so even the subtlest changes to its setup are obvious in the time slips.

The best pass of the day was an 8.005 @ 179.80 which is pretty much Rob hitting a mosquito on the run, I think.  🙂

We have no idea how many runs the car has done in total now, but it’s been totally reliable and it’s a testament to the engineering effort that’s gone into building it.

More to come tomorrow, all credit to the boys at CRD for all of their efforts – and to Rob who’s been keeping it running straight!

Rob and the boys from CRD took JUN-II out to WSID for some more setup and launch testing this past Saturday.  Their best pass of the day was an 8.031, but they’re now hitting the 1.2x second 60 foot times – and the car has faultlessly been running back to back runs without any issues.  Check out that half track, though…  that’s awesome.  🙂
