Slicks, eh? No wonder he dropped 0.5 sec then

The Croydon's GTR was pretty much there before Reece's slicks tho'. When he did 9.2 they pulled a 9.3 In fact, I heard Reece took 3 or 4 runs to beat the 9.3 that Croydon's ran (without breaking either - there's a first

).

There aren't that many GTRs even in Japan doing 8s on street tyres are there? So a 9.3 is damn good.

Good point Moon. There are a few in Japan that in the 8's on NITTO tyres but most are running slicks to get low 8's. I am not sure on the amount in the 8's on DOT tyres so can't quote an actual number.

Croydon's have done well in their configuration and I really hope they can crack an 8. Also considering that meremere is a shit track so that makes it even more impressive to see. Both Reece and Croydon's cars would be nearly .5 quicker on a track such as found in the states.

Well then they should come over and have a go at it

A solid rear axle would help as well, for those 1/4 mile treks

RazorGTR,

.5 quicker, that is a lot. The tracks are that much different? I never knew.

I am probably being quite generous at .5 SkylineUSA. At the last major event here, one of Australia's quickest rotor powered drag cars came over for some demo runs. The Rotor Master. He normally runs mid to low 7's in Australia but here he only could muster a mid 8.

The track is build on a swamp for starters which means it sinks. It has more ripples and dips than a motorcross track. Not to mention the fact it that is never properly prepped for national events other than for the V8's. So we get a bit of VHT spray on the start area and that is about it.

Gonthrax it has been talked about at least by the Croydon team but I doubt it will ever happen. Maybe one day though who knows.

That would be great. Should that happen, I might be able to convince some people they should give a circut R32 a go. I'll drive it

Hey don't forget Sub-Zero's try-9 ran a 9.43 on dot radials. All of them prove how capable the chassis is

. Oh, by the way we're planing on bringing the tube chassis dragster to the states this year(said with crossed fingers) looking to put up low 7-second times

Any thoughts on were you'd be comming?

Not sure yet, we're working out the details but I'll keep you posted.
