TWIN-TURBO LS RX-7 Anthony Knight 310.60km/h

01: Anthony Knight’s Rx-7was deceptively fast, with its best run being 310.60km/h. But hangona minute all you rotor fans, stop typing – there was no rice cooked here, as Anthony has swapped out the Wankel and gone for good ol’ twin-turbo LS power. With a factory intake and the turbos mounted below the headlights, the flat bonnet doesn’t give the game away at all. Anthony has owned and raced the car for some 25years, and it looks like it’s still got plenty of life left init! 02: Brook Gunning won last year’s Cashdays withhis XE Falcon, so he thought he’d step it up with this Mustang. It’s an old drag car that copped a fresh coat of bright orange paintand the Fontana engine that oncepowered Graham Kennedy’s Good, Bad & Uglycapri 03: If there was an award for the best number plate, it would havetogo to Andrew Strickland and his LOLVO. Andrew was having a ballthis year after going ‘rods out’ in 2017. Witha new single-turbo LS combo, the boxy 242GT pushed its wayinto the stiff headwind to reeloff a 279.12km/h pass in the 800m. Unfortunately, it appeared to lift a head, filling upthe passengersidebores with coolant in the process, so there wereno 1000m attempts 04: While last year there was just 0.65km/h separating first and second place, this year it was Eddy Tassone clearlyin front, with daylight second and Peter Gray’s R33 Skyline 9.99km/h behind Eddy’s amazing –and almost record-setting – 334.93km/hrun. After a horrific crash fiveyears ago at Racewars,eddy has rebuilt his carand his confidence to finally claim the title that everyone knew hewas capableof. The 460ci LS monster features an RHS alloy block, Mastmozez heads and twinprecision 76/75 low-mounted turbos feeding into a Marcella Manifolds intake. With 20psi of boost, the car madeover 1500hp on a hub dyno, but Eddy turned it up to 24psi on his winning run.his speed putshim just 1.5km/hbehind the Australian1000mrecord heldbychristhomson in an R35 Skyline
