Gary Densham has kicked off round one of the ENZED International Nightfire New Year Series in the best way possible tonight – running Australia’s quickest and fastest ever Nitro Funny Car pass when he crossed the quarter mile in 4.86 seconds at 309.7mph (approx 495.52kph).
The result is the first Nitro Funny Car ‘four second’ pass to be run not only in Australia but also outside of North America, and also tops the speed ladder as the first pass in Australia by a Nitro Funny Car to come in at over 300 miles per hour.
A similar run tomorrow will be all Densham needs to officially clinch the National Record, which is currently held by Victorian’s Romeo Capitanio (time record – 5.37s) and Helen and Peter Russo (speed record – 274.90mph/442.39kph) which have stood for 14 and 13 years respectively.
