Another private track hire, this time the conditions were even better!

The Torry was there to continue where it left off at the last track hire and again managed to smash out a handful of blistering passes!

Unfortunately we had to leave early and missed the very last pass which was an even quicker 7.06, but we managed to get the two before this one.

The Twin Precision Gen 2 Turbo’s were loving the even cooler air, with the Torana making the low 7 second passes look like a walk in the park still using the old 6 Litre Motor.

Jeff, Lauren and Lundy were on their game as always keeping the car in check. Darryl behind the wheel did his part and kept the car straight and his foot flat and the crew all walked away with some very healthy time slips.

The weather wasn’t on our side for this one, but there was still an awesome time to be had at Benzenes Detailing for Australias Biggest Morning Tea!

In between the rain we managed to grab some videos of the cars and the great turnout of people who came down to support the event.

With the weather only just holding out it was definitely somewhat of a rush through the carpark to showcase the cars who did brave the weather, we would have loved to have been able to spend alot more time really getting up close and personal with the cars but keeping our equipment dry had to take priority so we did the best we could with what we had to work with!

A massive thanks again to Johnny and Angela, and to Nick and Todd for having us down for the morning – we can’t wait for the next one!

The 2 door Hilux Ute campaigned by the Whisson family was one of those left field cars that you don’t see (or hear) very often – and it definitely caught our eye.

Whilst taking the opportunity to get some more seat time in the car at the recent private track hire, the team managed to get the car down for the quickest pass they’d done to date and finished the day off with a new PB!

This relatively small capacity engine certainly punches out some serious horsepower and it has no issue picking up that front end on launch!

We’re definitely keen to get more of this one on camera and hope to see the car back again soon.

Year/Make of Car -2000 Hilux Ute
Engine – 3RZ – 2.7 Litre
