Yep, thats Rob Twitchells car, and the man done well to get that up to scratch for the event!
first few runs were in the 13's, then he cracked 12's and came home with a best of 12.6 @ 121mph
Hats off to rob and chip!

and the R32 skyline which made it into the 9's...
If I remember rightly, he ran a 9.3 or 9.4 @ 160mph... 
fastest skyline in the UK

You should have seen the view from right by the caravan in the Shootout Final, watching it snaking up the runway and leaving two neat wavy rubber-tracks in both 1st and 2nd! 
The sound of it, from that close, as it was sitting on the start-line, was awesome!

I raced him on my 3rd time up the strip 
He would of absoloutely whooped me but either something broke, or he couldnt find a gear!
So stupidly fast off the line, i thought it had TBs but must have been an LET!
