Records fell amid brutal performance at NDRC Full Throttle 3 at Vernamfield, Clarendon, on Sunday. Star of the day Neville 'Chuku' Hogg, in his beastly Toyota Supra, smashed his own record twice doing 8.657 and then 8.619 over the quarter mile, pocketing $50,000 in addition to second-place prize money. He was still second best in a stirring contest with big bad Dean Shaw in his 1969 Camaro. The Chevy guzzled four and a half gallons of pure methanol, covering the quarter mile in 8.133 seconds.

Meanwhile, Troy Wilson collected $10,000 for piloting his Toyota Starlet to a perfect 13.000 seconds. Denniston Graham was not as lucky as his midget three cylinders Daihatsu Mira did a giant killing 14.999 seconds breaking out of his class.

A fair-sized crowd watched 147 cars blaze the track. NDRC official Stephen Gunter is already planning for the next meet on October 29 2017.
