Pedaling 1500hp at 250km/hr is no mean feat.
Now entrants start to get serious.
800m runs come and go, with a few breakages, and some of the big hitters start to participate.
Jose Jardim in the ITP Supra completed some test runs, and had a big off at mid-track, which closed the track temporarily, but thankfully no damage to driver or car.
This car is a weapon. A 3.28L stroked 2JZ using Nitto billet crank, custom cams and headwork in tandem with Hypertune intake manifold and huge injectors produces more than 1100hp thanks to a Precision Pro Mod 88mm turbo. Backing this is a 2-speed Powerglide transmission and 9” Diff. The parachute isn’t just for show….
Eddy Tassone in the Active Automotive’s Holden GTO also made some shakedown passes – what may be more impressive is that he’s back after a vicious rollover at a past event, but never one to back away from a challenge there was no way he could sit this out.
