We said we would be there to see the boys take the Torry to the track for the first time, and we’ve delivered on that promise!

The Torana was out and after a couple of small adjustments was able to make some solid rail road straight flying passes with the car still turned down… The potential this car has is ridiculous, with over 2000hp to play with!

The boys are still ironing out a few bugs, and unfortunately the timing board didn’t want to play ball on the day but the Torry is already into the 7 second zone and it still has plenty left.

An unreal effort for the first time out with the car, we can’t wait to see it back on the track in this coming season!

You may notice on a couple of clips that we had to pull the incar audio or dub music in place, we had a couple of glitches with our main camera not recording any audio randomly (which we haven’t had happen ever before!!) We apologize for that, we’ll make sure we keep an eye on that going forward but we hope you still enjoy watching 🙂

Darran Williams only knows one speed when on the Burnout Pad and he certainly didn’t slow down during this Exhibition Burnout at the High Grade Mechanical West Coast Nats. On the Tip-in he clipped the wall smashing the Headlight and ripping the Bumper off. Not to be deterred he returned later in the date and won the Pro Class..
