World Records
In 1990 JUN attended the Bonneville Speed trials at the Bonneville Salt Flats (see also Bonneville Speedway) with a Z32 Nissan 300ZX they had extensively modified. JUN was able to record a speed of 373 km/h. This was a world-record for a “road”-going car.
JUN returned a year later with the intent of improving on their world record. This time they used a JUN-Blitz Nissan 300ZX. In the E/BMS class, JUN set a record 419.84 km/h, becoming world champions for that particular class, later reclassified as E/BGMS. This record remains unbroken. This is verified by the SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) website, Bonneville records page, under Blown Gas Modified Sports, ; this page was checked July 2009.
JUN has also competed in the JGTC series as well as in drifting in Japan and the USA.
