History
1989 Nissan Laurel Dragster
- Quickest pass so far 9.00 @ 155mph (looking to jump into 8’s this season!)
- Crowd pleaser (exhibition runs) @ Waimate 50 "Main Street Thunder event) - 2012
Started off life as a diesel Laurel, then transformed it into an RB26 powered Laurel, then started drag racing it. Eventually upgraded to an RB30, and changed the whole setup.
