Jap Show Finale, Santa Pod Raceway - 07/10/2007
|
George his a new personal best drag time. Apparently Santa pod prepare the track well for Jap Show, this is the rumor that was flying around around the pits and judging by the amount of broken drive shafts kicking about its true. George's R32 has only ever run on a drag strip twice, once at York raceway and then at TOTB (see event reports below) So the car has had very little time on the drag strip, but George was here to get the very best time available from GTR

Jap Show Finale, Santa Pod Raceway - 07/10/2007
|
George is planning big things for his silver GTR over the winter. These all new changes means he will be unable to run in any drag event again. So with Jap Show fast approaching it's a good excuse for him to improve on his person best of 10.60.

Time Attack, Final, - 19/08/2007
|
With Brands Hatch been so far away, we decided to leave the day before in good time and have a relaxing day, instead of the 100mph mad rush as normal. With early leaving we had to make sure the car were ready for the event. Surprisingly the EVO 7 was fine and didn't thing doing since the last round at Knockhill. The Silver R32 needed the gearbox rebuilding, 5th gear was unable to get we think The top speed run at TOTB could of been the cause. The Blue 32 did need a few tweaks, brakes still been the big issue.

European Drift Championship Final, - 19/08/2007
|
The final venue for the EDC took place at North Weald, Essex, on an air field. Initially we thought it was a come down to hold the final on an airfield when all the other rounds have been on the UK finest race circuits but how wrong could be. The track which consisted of a very fast right hand corner, leading onto a a tight roundabout, looping back to the first corner but this time a long left hand bend. The drivers soon got to grips...............

Ten Of The Best, - 29/07/2007
|
After a very hard weekend at Knockhill, we set of back destination York, ready for TOTB on the Sunday. The very little sleep friday night was twice as long as the two & a half hours we got on the Saturday. The sleep depravation had obviously affected our diet as 2 garage sandwiches, half a sausage & a cheese burger is all George managed to eat from 8am Friday morning till 6pm Sunday. This didn't phase him though, where he got his energy..........

Time Attack & EDC, round 2 - 03/06/2007
|
As normal it was last minuete with all 4 cars. The qualifiers for EDC drifting were held on the Friday afternoon so rather than travel to Silverstone on Friday to come back and return again on Sunday we decided to travel down on the Friday morning with 3 of the cars. The forecast had predicted rain for the Sunday so we had plenty of tyres and extra wheels, probably more than you could find in Kwick fit on a saturday afternoon..........

York Drag Way - 07/05/2007
|
York Raceway’s 2NZ (tuners) Run What You've Brung series was an ideal venue to test the GTR down the drag strip, more out of interest to see what times could be achieved. George had run his previous Skylines down the drag strip before but not this one. The car hasn't been out of the garage to see daylight since Donnington park on the 12 of April. Apart from a visit to the workshop to rectify the boost problem he had suffered on the last timed lap of Time Attack....

Long delays at Scooby Clinic saw the EVO7 get a delayed run on the Dyno which put us behind time. 9pm we arrived at the paddock at Donnington Park....
