Once a year, we get a chance to run at a fully-sanctioned NHRA dragstrip which is Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH for the Buschur DSM/EVO/GT-R Shootout. This year, we trailered out our customer's blue "Diamonds by Wire" Alpha 16 GT-R and it took home 1st place in the GT-R Quick competition! Although experienced with 1/2 mile and roll racing, the owner, Gidi Chamdi has never competed in a heads up 1/4 mile race with a tree before. The results were outstanding and consistent!

This GT-R has been through 6 rolling race and half mile competitions since built without an engine refresh. The last half mile race, Gidi ran 13 passes that I recorded on video (a few more that I missed). I would say his GT-R has easily layed down over 50 passes extending over a half mile and over 10 1/4 mile passes in this event alone! Such a beast!

Watch the video and read the Youtube description for more details or visit our blog below!

That is also our new Alpha GT-R Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold which will be available within the next few months!

The transmission also performed flawlessly and showed no signs of excessive wear or a potential catastrophic failure. Much has changed since the introduction of the GT-R. Where the trans used to be susceptible to breaking even with the addition of a few hundred ft-lbs of tq, it is much more reliable when outfitted with a stronger gear set, bracing, clips and so on. John Shepherd of Sheptrans assembles all our built transmissions and we've been working with him since we entered into the GT-R market years ago.

The news of Keiichi Tsuchiya and Daijiro Inada leaving the D1 Series over differences with the D1 Corporation was quite a big blow to drifting but then came the saving grace that the dynamic duo would be starting up their own drift series that spelt some competition for D1 and the promise of more focus on the grassroots was just what the sport needed in its native land as things have descended into a...
