Anyone know what became of the Nascar vehicle or the Kiwi who imported it that was going to have a go at the NZ record!

No, I asked the question myself not long ago and someone (in the motorsport media) was going to make inquiries but never found out anything in the end.

still revving in the parking lot trying to drain fuel for shipping
I know they were trying to make the most powerful engine in the world for it more powerful than a Concorde engine .As of the low to the grown air drag. I thought it was a turbine engine feed by a solid rocket engine . But haven't herd anymore about it
What a big YAWN. All anyone really cares about now is internet speed. Thats where it's at.

You might be thinking of the WORLD land speed record.!
I don't think you'll need a jet more powerful than a Concorde engine AND a rocket to nab the NZ record!
