Ultra Street Coverage Sub 5-Second 1/8-Mile

May 5th, 2015

ultra street mustangTake a look at this video that features tons of early/late model matchups (as well as lots of GM/Ford matchups) in some close heads-up racing. There is even an early/late model GTO battle at the onset. The footage was obtained during last weekend’s Street Car Shootout at the Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Maryland. The class is Ultra Street and the cars are outstanding.

Ronnie Rhodes is on hand in his small block powered (with nitrous) ’68 Camaro. When the afternoon sun gets hot, he lays down a 4.95 @ 141.89 mph, and it appears that he will outclass the field. However, when the sun goes down numerous other competitors begin to dip into the “fours”. Alas, a mysterious Malibu comes out of the shadows to deliver a 4.93 @ 143.58 mph in the finals. That time was good enough to beat the Camaro and win the class.
