Congrats to Munro

[Drift Spec]

Mate well done with your wicked effort at the 4,6 & Rotary Nationals.

That car absolutely hammers and boy it sounds awesome!

Finally into 9's, all that hard work has paid off.

Now all you have to do is put a passenger seat in it so you can take me for a 1/4 run in it

Rob (aka Shade boy ).

p.s. dont you just love the drive home from these events, everyone wants to drag .. 180km run with a VL later :bahaha:

[BRUTE]

congrats John

more details please:)

[Munro]

Thanks for everyones support.It is great to finally reach my goal -

taking my R33 to the drags & leaving in one piece with nothing

busted!!! Has been an awesome weekend - here are the results.

10.38am 1.64 60ft 9.947 @ 148.85

12.46pm 1.46 60ft 9.669 @ 144.62

2.35pm 1.73 60ft 10.36 @ 148.83

6.22pm 1.58 60ft 9.890 @ 148.95

9.06pm 1.53 60ft 10.14 @ 145.09

9.36pm 1.52 60ft 9.693 @ 148.88

On Friday it made 540 kw at the wheels.I am very happy with the

Holinger & Nittos, and the car felt very strong all day.

I did have 2 heads up runs with Keir's R32 but unfortunately he

got a bit out of shape on the first one & had to back off.On our 2nd run he lost boost & aborted the run.I did the final run at 9.36pm as a solo which was the last pass of the event.

Keir did run a 9.51 @ 150 mph earlier in the day so he is still the reigning street tyre champ - by a small margin.

Overall a very well run event & cruise.Would be great to see more

than 5or6 Skylines out at the drags next time though.

[gtrken]

wow , a 1.46 60ft.

Thats certainly laying down the traction.

What was it like pre Nitto ?

Cheers and congrats

Well done "BRIAN" Munro All that hard work & somebody else gets all the credit! (Brian Munro IS actually a drag racer too!)

Hey John you can claim to have been the street tyre record holder for an hour or so

But seriously, good job John / Mark & the boys / & Martin. It seems those 2835R's had a 9 in them after all

Getting to see 2 RH9 GT-R's go at it head to head was worth the entry fee.

Congrat's to Keir & all involved too.

[Munro]

Thanks guys.Yeah, those commentators should learn to get their facts straight!It did feel good to be the fastest - even if it was only for an hour - but whats 1/10 of a second between friends??

1.69 was my best with Toyo tyres on gtrken - still thinking bout WA trip.

Need to thank Mark Tilbrook,Martin Donnon,Darren Palumbo,Nate

Stevens,Joe Vozzo,John Dickenson,plus everyone else who helped in preparation & on the day.

Also a big thanks to Colin from Advanced Auto Finesse at Gepps Cross for polishing/detailing & storing the car the night before the drags - & Darren at Impressive paint & panel at Greenwith for the constant spoiler resprays & painting the TE37 wheels.

Driftspec - thanks for the shade - I was melting in there.

2 GTRs in Adelaide in the nines - be good when there is a third.

[GOT BOOST]

yeah yeah bring it over. that was the best ive seen.

really worth travelling over for.

thank Mark again from us for the hospitality when we rocked up to his shop. we saw the lot in 2 days feel wrecked for it now though. without a doubt Munro you will hear from Nigel in powering up his R32. cheers Sean

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

Well done munro, very impressive!!!!

Cheeky and I are already planning to go in next years.

And yes the commentating is shocking, at last years nats they called me "Mr Blue" instead of "Melissa Kluge"

[Nightcrawler]

Congrats John - that is an awesome time! Finally all the hard work paying off - and you even get to take the car home in a driveable fashion

Well done!

[MattR]

Yeah well done John, good day out for all. Even if I am burnt to buggery:D Good to have a few drinks after as well

[meggala]

great to hear the time munro really good stuff and the 60' was awsome keep up the good work

meggala

[Pawley]

I said it on the day, and I'll say it again.... Good on you John, and all your support team.

Well worth the 20 bucks if it was only to see a best of 3 RH9 skyline competition.

I video-ed all 3 runs, and on the third, it looks like you were stuck on the line for a good 0.5sec or so after the green light. When does the actual clock start??

I sure hope you're not looking at me when you talk about a 3rd 9 second GTR in Adelaide......... might be a loooooooong time comming if thats the case!

[gtrken]

Clock starts only when you break the beam.

All that happens is your reaction time is crap but this has no bearing on the actual ET

Cheers

Ken

[cowboyb]

Congrats John! You own a 9sec GTR! *worship* *worship*

Any plans to take it lower than that??? Gotta set new goals now!!

Maybe an 8sec ute? hehe

Well done again,

Adrian

[CheekyR32]

CONGRATULATIONS JOHN. Thats action! Well done.

It was a killa day. I look like a crispy tomato now and I had to change my pants at regular intervals cos the action was so good.

I cant wait till next year... mel.. get your bus into gear!

By the way congrats to all the other pimps that were there racing.

[Chris32]

Well done John, good to see some of your goals achieved, and a new record for a hour or so

Congrats to Kier as well for setting the bar even higher!

A great day - even if I missed the last bit due to a wedding!

Chris

[Clint32]

Well done John, looks like there may be a little more in it looking at the MPH and 60ft times for all the runs.

Can anyone tell me what other car i missed out on and their times.

PS thanks Chris for all the updates.

[brandon_gtr]

Well done John, well worth the drive.... And the sunburn.... Now that you have a nine, whats next?

[Steve]

Congrats on achieving a fantastic goal - nice to hear you didnt have to retire, gotta be happy with that, just keep pumping out those 9s, and in a streeter - very bloody impressive

So whats next? Any goals or just enjoying things for a while?

I'm pretty sure the guys over in the west would wet themselves if you decided to put in a guest appearence.

Wish I could have been there (did anyone get some vid?)
