Post Thank you!!!

Thanks to Ososik Media for this video of the 7 second pass:

Of course! Thanks to all of the countless other shops and customers that allow us to help feed their need for speed, we greatly appreciate the business.

Very nice!
There is a shop here in Okinawa called Speed Factory and they just set a new PB with their R32GT-R, 8.8@160mph. Thought that was quite ironic the both of you running new personal bests.

Has been a pleasure working with such a great team and a great group of guys! Congrats from everyone over here at the office! We are very excited about the new world record and first 7 second pass! Keep it up, don't worry about them guys with the tire pressure gauges... You don't need to explain yourself to anyone, just glad you guys got it!
