Ray Baluch Sets New Six-Speed LSX Record

Taking things to the next level is what keeps heads-up drag racing fresh and exciting. As a racer you have infinite options on how you can reach for the next rung on the performance ladder — maybe it’s another jet up of nitrous, an extra few cubic inches, or totally shaking your racing program up.  In Ray Bulach’s case, he already had one badass nitrous-huffing six-speed Camaro, but decided for 2014 to ditch the giggle juice, hang a turbo up front and prove everybody wrong who said it couldn’t be done.

During the 2013 season, Bulach stepped up to run the Real Street class in the LSX Challenge series. Late last fall he rowed his way into the record books with one of the quickest six-speed passes ever, running an 8.80 at 150 MPH. Most racers would be ecstatic making that much progress in one year and running that quick, but Bulach and his blue beast had bigger plans.

This past weekend at the Muncie Dragway during the Street Car Takeover Indy event, Bulach brought out his minty fresh new boosted combo to get some more laps in. Gone is the Nitrous Outlet spray bar setup and in its place is a 76mm turbo backed by an RPM six-speed transmission and Monster Clutch.  The new combo is making well over 1,000 horsepower to the wheels and puts it down oh-so smooth. Check out this video great video from Kyle at 1320Video that catches the record-setting 8.63 at 158 MPH, and shows Bulach rowing though the gears like a boss!
