We are taking it back to the track for Day 2 of TX2K23. Overcast days can be a blessing and a curse. While these elite roll racing competitors are faced with dodging rain showers, the cooler ambient temperatures could result in record fast passes. Today, we’ll see the fastest cars on earth including the Lamborghini Huracan (Underground Racing), Dodge Viper (Calvo Motorsports) and Nissan GT-R (T1 Race Development) compete on a closed course roll racing format. The racing begins with the 3,500hp Nissan GT-R of T1 going against a 3,300hp Lamborghini Huracan. Both cars are twin turbocharged monsters with upgraded Read More

These are two very scary pieces of machinery. There are two phrases that warn of impending doom for the competition. They are English Racing and Extreme Turbo Systems (ETS). This Acura is closely associated with both. T1 Race Development are no slouches either. They built the Nissan GT-R. Needless to say, we are in for quite a drag race today. The 1994 Acura Integra GSR is outfitted with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual (PPG with a billet bell housing) gearbox. It has been modified with an all-wheel drivetrain from a variety of Honda SUVs. The motor is Read More

The Ricky Bobby GT-R is on the edge of the knife when it comes to top speed. It is purpose built for roll racing and half-mile racing events. Under the hood of this all-wheel drive import is a 4.1-liter T1 built V6 (billet block) with a pair of Precision 7685 turbochargers. With a 200hp shot of nitrous, this Nissan has the potential to produce nearly 3,000hp. Piloted by Terence Cox, the Ricky Bobby GT-R is one of the favorites to win the Unlimited Class. Fresh off the trailer, Terrence rolls into the left lane against a Cicio car. Terence puts Read More

Greetings drag racing fans and auto enthusiasts of every ilk. Welcome to GT-R World Cup 2021 from Bradenton, Florida. Allow me to introduce Maurice Stanley and his Nardo wrapped Nissan GT-R. Maurice is the dude from the Steve Miller song which refers to him as ‘the gangster of love”. Not really. He is however a space cowboy because Maurice is taking up plenty of space. Maurice is also turning heads with his T1 Race Development built Nissan GT-R. Although the subtle Nissan is a fresh build, the car has managed to consistently turn quarter-mile times in the 6-second range and Read More

The standing half-mile is an excellent test of top speed and durability. The 2020 Indy Airstrip Attack attracted some of the most capable half-mile machines in the country. One of the most capable of these competitors is a Honda S2000 with a heck of an attitude. Car owner Stuart Leiby and T1 Race Development have built a record shattering Honda S2000 without even swapping the engine. Under the hood is the stock F22C1 DOHC Vortec motor (block and crankshaft) with a 68-millimeter Xona Rotor turbocharger. The F22C1 motor is cylinder sleeved from the factory, making it an ideal candidate for Read More

AMS Performance is at it again. Building big power, 7-second imports is a practice that this firm has down to a science. These AMS cars are always in the running for fastest Nissan GTR on the planet and that’s just the beginning. Let’s have a look at the lineup for TX2K20. There’s George Martin in a GTR with a 76-millimeter turbocharger and Dave Roerschetter in his GTR3 with a 68-millimeter turbo. Both of these cars have run consistent low 7-second passes and they seek the elusive 6-second pass in this event. Then there is the Prime Cuts Chop Shop GTR, Read More

Hello race fans and welcome to the Haltech World Cup Finals for another GT-R World Record. Seems like there’s a GT-R record falling every time I go to the dragstrip these days. This time it is the record for elapsed time in the quarter-mile; for a GT-R with the turbocharger in the stock location (not the stock turbo). The pass in question was 7.08-seconds @ 208.23 mph. With help from Tony Palo (T1 Race Development), this fugly GT-R with no openings in the grille and a matte black finish, is being campaigned by George Dodworth and the Clutch Masters crew Read More

Tony Palo and the T1 Race Development Team have settled in among the elite in Nissan GT-R record-breakers. These guys campaign one of the more unique looking cars on the GT-R circuit. The first thing that catches my eye is the widebody treatment. This car looks like something out of a science fiction flick. The subtle camo pattern paint is out of this world and rounds out an aesthetic that makes this car one of the most eye-catching of the season (even at TX2K18). After 3-years of running this car through the vicious cycle of race, break, repair, and repeat; Read More

After more than five-years with AMS Performance, Gidi Chamdi has opted to go in a different direction with his record-breaking R35 Alpha G Nissan GT-R. AMS and Gidi part ways on good terms and remain friendly towards one-another. You will recall that the Alpha G car was the first GT-R to bust the 6-second barrier in the quarter-mile. At the time, 6.93-seconds was a world record but that has recently been eclipsed by the Alpha Logic Team (Dubai) with an elapsed time of 6.85-seconds @ 212 mph. Of course, every time that this car is unloaded, it is anticipated that Read More
