Brent Rau Shatters ET record @ NHRA 7.09@199

[Magnus]

Congrats to Brent Rau who shattered the ET record at NHRA E-town event this weekend. 7.09 @ 199

This man is the most dedicated man in sport compact racing. And all the hard work has paid off. Brents first win in NHRA totally dominated the class. Another Record win for the 4G63 powered Eclipse!

Sorta kinda eh maybe ... oh kinda maybe sorta, but still the basic starting block!

I like the last run of 7.095 @ 173 -- lifting and getting back into it. Along with the 7.06 @ 173.

That car is definitely on its game if the groove is good for him!

Good Luck with the 2007 Season Brent!

Hopefully we see some nice clean 6's from you this year in NHRA!

Sure did, but this year we're limited to a smaller 78mm turbo, had to put the stock shock towers back in, and switch to a different tire.

The last pass of the weekend was the fastest 1/8th mile to date, 4.50 at 157mph with a 1.07 60'.

Go go 3 liter eater, thanks Marco!
