Hot on the tyre tracks of Rod Harvey’s world record setting run just two weeks ago, Joe Signorelli has struck back reclaiming the title as the world’s quickest 2JZ and Sport Compact car. The Fuchs Nationals test and tune at Sydney Dragway was the scene for the run, where Signorelli in the Gas Motorsport Celica carded a 6.38 at 223mph, surpassing Harvey’s 6.40 second mark.
