The goal of a fully streetable 9 second 240z run on fully treaded street tyres was acheived at our first proper meeting 5th Jan 2008 with an off the trailer 9.2 and a best on the day of 9.065 @ 151mph backed up with a 9.07 @ 152mph.

This is well ahead of where we thought we'd be at this very early stage and obviously here at R.I.P.S we are all over the moon.
I'd like to thank Avon, Dean, Jason, Paul, my Mrs (who says I love the car more than her
) My Dad, Ed and the boys who gave a hand at the strip, couldn't have done it without you.
We won every race that day, loaded up and headed home with smiles from ear to ear.
Now we are in the position of chasing 8s far earlier than we could have dreamed of, we've had the 240 on the hoist, checked her over and all is well, only 2 very small changes will be made, both of which 'should' see a good improvement next time out.
Thanks for everyones support and kind comments during the build process and here's hoping the old 240 does us proud,
Rob
