Willowbank Raceway

Currently competing at the 2011 Winternationals at Queensland’s Willowbank Raceway, Reece McGregor and the Heat Treatments crew have just re-set their own world record for thr fastest GTR with a blistering 7.56@184.95mph pass. Its previous best was a 7.57 at a faster 190mph which shows the car has the potential to go even quicker.

It hadn’t been smooth sailing for the Pac crew in the lead-up to the 20th running of the Jamboree but with a niggling issue finally taken care of in testing and the car in one piece, there was nothing left to do but head north to Willowbank and put on a show for rotor fans everywhere.
