HULK SHOGUN

The Shogun is finished and raring to go. Designed as a Pro ET & Supergas racer, it has been shaken down in it's first season and has run a best of 10.20 @ 128mph. Is currently undergoing another change which will see it converted over to alcohol fuel injection and have an outrageous ram tube induction system tearing its way through the bonnet - something you would never expect from it's meek and mild-mannered owner!

However, we know that if you happen to visit the PMR pits, Gary will be only too pleased to tell you how it went from daily drive to what it is now.
