Just read on the MLR that he's up at Santa Pod with a magazine,
and just run a 9.26 @ 160.09mph. He had already done a few runs on the Toyo R888's with a 9.5 @ 159mph bettering his previous times.
Just keeps getting quicker, wonder if it'll be in the 8s soon?!

Apparently unprepped track, no 5th gear and road legal tyres 8s should deff be possible.

Was that on road legal tyres?
Keith Cowie is gonna be the man to beat this year in his R32, think hes already managed an 8.8 @ 161 in warm ups, that was with a misfire, a problem with his box and faulty ant lag! Mental!!!

Doing some quick maths 928bhp and 1160kgs = Fookin quick!

Not forgetting he hit the limiter in 4th due to 5th not engaging (new box probs I think)!

Awesome! Simpley Awesome!!!
I "think" at the pod its if you run sub 10secs you now are meant to have a chute on the back.... But a car like the Norris Evo is track car so is has big brakes that are more than capable of slowing it down quickly at that speed... Maybe it gets round this rule because of this 
Thats the most impressive thing about this car.... It runs Drag car times, but its built mainly for the track. Crazy!!!
