Dunlop Targa New Zealand - STILLEN GT-R
http://blog.stillen.com/2010/10/targ...dy-to-compete/
![]() Steve is in New Zealand, and Kyle is headed out tonight to compete in the Dunlop Targa Rally New Zealand. he rally takes place on closed public roads in the North Island of New Zealand. Over the 5 days of competition, the cars will compete in 712.7 km (442 miles) of closed stages, and a total of 1464 km (909 miles) of stages from October 25th - 30th, 2010. "2010 sees the return of Steve Millen to the Targa New Zealand rally. In years past Steve has driven numerous different cars at the Targa rally including 6 cylinder Ford Falcon’s (basically a Taurus), a wild turbo inline-6 all wheel drive Focus that would have been an awesome car had it been able to complete all of the stages before retiring mid-week with mechanical troubles, and all the way to the Ford GT supercar that we campaigned for two years in 2006 and 2008. The GT was a blast but it was no match for the all wheel drive Subaru’s, Evo’s, and GT-R’s. So, Steve fixed that… Now we’re bringing an all wheel drive GT-R of our own."

The good news is, the STILLEN GT-R is running very well and Steve and Phillip are doing very well and working great together! Steve took it kind of careful today as he wanted to see how the tires were going to fair. These Dunlops are looking great and are showing hardly any wear. We are very excited to see how they work through the week! ![]() Today was unusually tough as the weather was uncharacteristically warm.. The roads were hot and we really expected the tires to start wearing heavily. However, The GT-R is running strong and working very well! We’re getting some great in-car footage that I am very excited to bring home and post up soon! ![]() There have been a few off road excursions made by a few cars today. Most cars were pulled out of trouble and will be back tomorrow, but we’re not so sure about one competitor in the Mazda 3 MPS. It had a pretty serious off and rolled. Fortunately the driver and co-driver made it out without injury. I have been traveling with Conrad Healy today as we went from stage to stage getting photos and what not. Here’s just a couple photos from today’s events, and as you see above, including Steve going a little wide through an acute right turn. More photos to come soon.. ![]() Modern Class Results for Day 1 – October 26, 2010 # Driver/Co Driver Vehicle Class Total Time 997 Tony Quinn/Naomi Tillett Nissan R35 GT-R 9 01:29:04 957 Clark Proctor/Tony Callaghan Nissan GT-R35 9 01:29:05 975 Steve Millen/Philip Adamson Nissan Stillen GT-R 9 01:31:16 945 Glenn Inkster/Spencer Winn Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6 9 01:31:17 926 Jason Gill/Jody Somervell Mitsubishi EVO9 GT 9 01:31:47 917 Glenn Smith/Andy Lowe Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X 9 01:32:02 998 Harry Dodson/Glenn Cupit Nissan GT-R35 9 01:33:16 716 Mark Whyte/Tracey Lance Toyota Alteza 7 01:33:24 944 Rick Giddy/Joel Giddy Subaru WRX STI 9 01:34:10 840 Martin Dippie/Greg Ball Porsche GT3 RS 8 01:34:18 |

A problem with Clark Proctor put him nearly 2 minutes behind Tony Quinn. Over 34 stages, and 712.7 km (442 miles) of closed stages, and a total of 1464 km (909 miles) of stages, lots can happen.
