Current record holders of the quarter mile, Team Mohammed’s Enterprise not at all worried about who pulls up next to their Nissan GTRs come Sunday at the highly anticipated ‘King of Dragz’ meet at the South Dakota circuit.
Last March, the team once again entered the record books as the GT-R sped to a time of 7.569s to win the unlimited (7-seconds) category ahead of their other car, the Nissan Nismo which had a time of 8.906s.
