Some would argue that the Unser family are the kings, and they would have strong grounds for that argument at least from a USAC point of view.
The GT3R did it in 9:46.181 (paved, 2012), Rod's nephew holds the current overall record (paved, 2012) at 9:46.164 in a slightly modified hyundai genesis. |
I was there in 2012. The GT3R was denied a clean run according to the French driver.
Also, I saw Rod's drive. His car was about 1% celica but oh what a noise that thing made with anti-lag and its ability to hit 140mph on longest straight of decomposed granite.
