Many of you have heard about (or attended) our 60-130 events in the past. This is an opportunity for all of us GT-R owner's to get together and have some fun with our cars without abusing them yet still be able to go over 130 mph legally! The premise is simple:
Rent dragstrip
Put a GPS based driftbox on your windshield (like a radar detector)
Roll through water box
Floor your car at about 20 mph
Hang on and let off around 135 mph
Get a GPS verified time it takes for your car to go 60-130
Here is an excellent article written about the 60-130 measure:
