Tim has done a 9.22 on his 1st run in the Duke car

 

[daytona]

That is SOOOOOOO close to a new UK record, think i'm right to say Andy Forrest's time of 9.19 still stands?

 

[DRAGandDRIFT]

well dont to Tim,

What was his terminal speed?

and yes Andys time still stands for a few hours.

and yes Andys time still stands for a few hours.

So doesn't the Duke cars 9.0 yesterday count???

Or is it because it was not done by a UK driver/owner?

If i was Tim i would not want to take any credit for the 9 sec run,that was done by the guys from Duke Racing,infact i would be well pi$$ed that was all they could only get it to run.
Ben come on here telling everyone that it had run a high 7:flame:

Sorry Scott,

Yes it must count, as its the car/not the person who holds the record....Just because it was set by a Japanese driver makes no difference.

How about a congrats without the bitch fest Bob? Have you run faster this year? Are you speaking on behalf of the owner when you mention being ****ed off about the time?
A 9.22 is awesome and deserves applause. Well Done Tim.
Is this the fastest Skyline this year in the Uk then?

 

[daytona]

Yes it is, getting very close to the first 8

JUst popped back home, it looked like tim had traction probems off the line.

IMPO his 9.2 would have been an 8 for sure if the car had hooked up properly, nothing against Tim's driving as he done well to keep it away from the wall. The car seemed to move off the line slowly (compared to how it went up the strip) as he span all 4 wheels, didnt seem to be any special track preperation considering the calibre of cars running in the pro shootout.

Is there still more runs today guys or is that it for this weekend?

 

[tweenierob]

Finale isnt until 4 so there is a few runs yet.

Cant believe the turn out of decent cars today, pro's and RWYB cars.

By far the best turn out from a spectators point of view this year.
