Issue 11 - World Time Attack Challenge 2011
August 5th and 6th played host to one of the biggest import related car events in Australia with the Advan World Time Attack Challenge at Eastern Creek in New South Wales.... You ask but this is Queensland Street Car magazine... what's that got to do with us.... With a huge contingent of us heading down to spectate and compete we decided to run a feature on the mad event and what went down! The main contenders that went down to compete was Mercury Motorsport and GT Autos, both with the state of the art GTR 35's, both the same car but both completely different in pretty much every other aspect. Mercury Motorsports Skyline was debuting the car at the Eastern Creek Track with its owner Mark Hanson behind the wheel for most of the Weekend with Japanese drive Eiji “Tarzan” Yamada from the Cyber Evo team jumping in to have a few laps as well... the extra laps up Tarzans sleeve in different cars gave him the advantage for when he jumped back in his own Evo 9 running the Fastest Lap time of the whole weekend almost 5 seconds faster than his time last year with a whooping 1:28.8510 sec lap time around the fast flowing circuit to take out the event in the Pro Class against the famous Pan Speed Rx7 from Japan and the Sierra Sierra Mitsubishi Evo 8 from the USA . Mark Berry in his Advan / Hi Octane Sponsored GTR 34 was a definite crowd pleaser in the Skyline department the fully aero dynamically designed 34 GTR from Queensland was the fastest of the GTRS on the weekend with an impressive 1:31.9050 but that was still only good enough for sixth place. The competition was that fierce that only five seconds separated the top 10 drivers throughout all the pro cars from Mitsubishi Evos to Mazda Rx7, Silvia S15s even a Lotus Exige GT3 all tricked out in carbon fibre and any mod they could get their hands on to make that extra second. by Dragphotos.com.au

Issue 2 - CHOP YA - Ford F6
When you think of tough Queensland street cars the likes of Johnny Wilson’s HK Monaro, or Damien Mckern’s Series 1 Rx7 probably come to mind; cars with balls and more poke than you can get to the ground. Another on my list of Queensland tuffies is this yellow F6 Typhoon commonly known as ‘CHOP YA’, not just for its name, but also its reputation. Photoshoot by Dave Reid www.dragphotos.com.au
