2nd October: Congratulations to Pro Street Drag Series driver Mick Begley on capturing the European 4WD Record for Japanese imports at Shakespeare County Raceway last weekend.

Begley, who was behind the wheel of the ex-Tim Webster Duke Drag Skyline GTR R33 powered by a 2.8 Hideck RB26 engine producing a 1000 bhp at the wheels, lowered the previous record of 8.45, set by Andy Barnes at Santa Pod, to 8.218 seconds at 176.65 mph. The record was backed up with an 8.23.

"The car has so much left in her", says Mick. "Crew Chief Tweenierob won't turn the boost up until I get my sixty foot times under 1.4. Both times today were with a 1.45 sixty foot. So I need to learn a bit more.

"The surface was excellent on the Sunday. The guys at Shakespeare County did us all proud. Next time (12th October) we might even see the sevens!"

Det är 2 riktigt sköna gubbar Mick och Tweenierob.
Var hos polaren Mattias idag då han ringde och grattade de för rekordet.
Enligt Tweenierob så finns det mycket mer att plocka ur motorn, men Mick måste
förbättra sig som det står ovan.

Mattias håller bra kontakt med dessa gubbar under bygget av hans R33 drag Skyline.
Blir Mattias klar med Skylinen snart så finns det möjlighet att åka till Santa Pod och köra mot Mick å company i slutet på Oktober :)
