K-Swapped AWD Ford Escort Crucifies Nissan GT-R – Drag Racing

November 17th, 2023

Looking similar to a pink pig, this Honda K-swapped Ford Escort is into killing the competition. Prior to posting any runs at Street Car Takeover Charlotte, this car had run a best of 10.2-seconds @ 141 mph in the quarter-mile. Without a roll cage and uncertain about future passes, the car is running in limbo somewhere between exhibition and test and tune when he puts up a 10.03 @ 140 mph and a 10.05 @ 140 mph. The car owner astutely climbs into the 10-0 bracket for the remainder of the event. This Ford rides on an all-wheel drivetrain cobbled Read More

Twin Turbo Corvette is World’s Quickest C7

January 28th, 2020

I can remember a time, not very long ago, when power adders were a rarity. If you encountered a fellow racer with a turbocharger, a supercharger or even nitrous, it was something that was remembered. Today, everybody has a power adder. They usually have multiple power adders, in fact. I mean, who doesn’t need a kit of nitrous to get out of the hole, a little turbo to scroll you to the big turbo and a big turbo to get you across the finish line? That’s racing in the 21st Century. Our feature car; a beauty of a Chevrolet Corvette Read More

August 3rd, 2019

Headed out to Lucas Oil Raceway with Nemo for some closed track record setting drag action.

While the Lingenfelter blower remains intact, Jokerz Performance deserves a big thumbs up for porting/polishing the supercharger. These guys do beautiful work.
