The action begins at the Virginia Motorsports Park. After numerous and lengthy rain delays, we are told that everyone gets a single pass. That’s one time down the track to make your number and move on to the next track.
Racing kicks off with a crazy Toyota 4Runner. With a stock 1JZ engine and a big turbo, this guy is throwing the front wheels up in the air like he just don’t care. What a way to start. The crowd loves it!
Next, the Escona Boys post a 6.30-second pass at 230 mph in their big tire Vega. These guys are dialed-in this year. Watch out. Before the Esconas can enjoy their lead, Tom Bailey rolls up in his Pro Mod Camaro and puts up a 6.28-second pass @ 234 mph.
Real Street Performance is on hand with a pair of Toyota Supra machines that are out of this world. Their Mk IV Supra blew the tires off coming out of the hole and still managed a 9.07-second pass @ 185 mph. The other is a Zupra – ‘Nuff said.
From Texas, we have an 8-second (1,100hp) Chevrolet Bel Air. It has a 6.0-liter aluminum V8 and a massive turbo. After struggling to get the transmission (4L80E) repaired before day one, the ECU loses power and only posts a 10-second run. The owner is faced with finding the problem and getting to the next venue before tomorrow.
Lot’s more action on this one. Don’t miss it!
