Well as some of you may know Paul dirtgarage has held the world record for a low mount GTR. Now some have suggested rather unkindly that he invented this class of GTR racing himself, but it has captivated the hearts and minds of drag queens the world over.
Now there is a new contender for this auspicious title. The R32 GTR of Mark Berry and Russell Newman has this very night run 9.78 @ 140mph at willowbank raceway. Not bad for a circuit car and a bunch of guys who don't really do drag racing. The car of course was just running regular circuit tyres. I think possibly wanli's on the back and mohawk or linglings on the front. In all seriousness the car hasn't been touched since Superlap and of course runs suspension set-up for circuit racing. It's a 2.6litre RB26 running low mount garret turbos and a H pattern gearbox. I'm sure they could go even quicker with some drag radials, drag suitable suspension and some more practice at the strip. Anyway, well done Mark and Russ not bad for a car you guys built in the shed. It really is quite an achievment.  and the RH9 sticker is in the mail-------------------- Beer Baron's Japan Photo Diary.

Well done Mark and Russ!!!
We all know that your car is capable of doing the 9. It's just a pain that most drag strip are Andra sanctioned and Andra has no leeway for street registered car with bolt in roll cage or cam spec roll cage. Did Willowbank allow you to have the 2nd run? If they did then that would have been awesome If they didn't then I am really sorrrrry to say but Pauly still has the record because you need 2 runs to be able to register the time in the drag circle  May be Paul can explain that better? Well done on the new RH9 sticker Mark and Russ. Sorry I could not come out today because I got a new sticker last sunday.....a "defective vehicle" sticker for using legal RE55 tyres on the road....something every oz should be proud of hey Would be nice to see the video though -------------------- |

hey guys
yep can confirm Mark did run 9.78@143 mph tonight! so extremely happy with that! thanks for the congrats hey Danh, cheers mate but i dont need another run to know what time it did, and could careless whether it needs to be backed up or not for drag circles or in any other circle ,we havent been to the drags in it for a run in well over a year and it probably wont be going back, i have the slip yeah first run was 11.1@80 mph (110 mph at half track) mark backed out as he wanted to make sure he got off the line well, so he then got a warning from the officials to say make sure the one you dont back out of is good because it will be on the trailer, so next run he did a rather large tyre warming skid & he got off the line really well and drove through for the time.probably could go a little quicker if setup right but not much , like turn back the 5 degrees negative front camber and a couple at the rear. what i am really happy with is the car has not even had a spanner laid on it since superlap and is setup how it ran down there , it will be running at qr this Saturday and mt cotton hillclimb Sunday (which we will be trying to break the record for a sedan at the hillclimb), Just makes me love GTR'S even more as they really can be a great all rounder. cheers russ (will post the slip when i get it scanned) -------------------- |
