It is right now New Zealand’s quickest vehicle and NZ Champion and was the first “Entryway Prison” to run 200mph and first to cover 1/4 mile in NZ in 6 seconds.
Occasions coordinator Bounce Wilton anticipates around 160 vehicles, with a few other entryway prisons and liquor vehicles equipped for running in the low 7s, not a long way behind Holland.

This week club individuals were working diligently laying new cement at the southern finish of the runway. This will oblige scales for gauging the vehicles both in scrutineering and in case of a public record. As of not long ago NZ record times couldn’t be perceived as a result of the absence of gauging gear.
Wilton said another arrangement of lights imported from the US will be used interestingly.
