The Nissan GTR ran a 2:12 but his time was not aloud because there is a break out time of 2:43 and if u beet it u are required to put in a rollcage.U are warned the first time and than if u do it again u can not race again at that event.

That's a stupid a** rule

Eh, well I wouldn't call it stupid. Most dragways have similar rules for cages, parachutes, etc; the rules are for safety. ... hmm, quick(er) car, fast-twisties and 5 feet from really hard trees ... yeah, I would have to wholeheartedly agree with the cage rule here. Nice vids/pics OP, thanks!

^Yeah my friends old teg was just slow enough to not need a cage, a better driver woulda needed one.

Sick. Rallys are pretty awesome.

You Had had a nice run.

That is so bad a**... But if you don't mind me asking..

Why do so much work to make the car handle the best it possibly can and only use a spring/shock combo instead of coilovers?? Doesn't make much sense to me. Seems if you go as far as to replace all the bushing throughout the whole car and install an lsd and put in a roll cage and racing tires and all that you'd atleast go with some street coilovers.. Maybe even tracks. 8kg atleast anyways with ride hieght adjustable... 4kg tien s-techs must feel soft and high off the ground in compairison.

IDK just curious.

Thanks for the replies. I don't think it's a stupid rule to have a rollcage after seeing some of the wrecks it's a good thing and the gtr is fast.The break out time is 2:43 and he ran a 2:12.
The reason not going with coilovers is because when i first started the hillclimb i started in the u class and u are not aloud to run coilovers.Everything else was okay to do per rules,and also the hill has alot of bumps and really stiff springs don't work as good as u would think.
Thanks again for the replys. I'm at work and my internet is down at the house so i will try to reply as soon as i can.
