Ultimate Racing Combat At The Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals

Supra vs Mustang

There are some races that carry a certain level of prestige that every fan knows just by a nickname. Events like “The Big Go” and “The March Meet” conjure up images of tradition, of history, and of the finest racers of their craft meeting on the big stage. There’s another long-running race that brings the best from all over the world to a single location to do automotive battle, and that’s the Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals (WCF), or simply “The World Cup”, held at Maryland International Raceway in Budds Creek, Maryland.

The 2016 edition of the WCF will be the 21st year that Jason and Chris Miller have put on this event, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Placing the race on the calendar at the end of the year allows racers from various sanctioning bodies to participate after their seasons are complete, and brings a true Super Bowl-like feel to the event.

“When this event was created 21 years ago, we wanted to target the outlaw racers from different genres, and bring them to one place to see who truly is the fastest in the world. We’ve had cars from 10 different countries come to compete at this event, including South Africa, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Aruba. People from just about every state here in America, including Puerto Rico, come to either watch or compete in the seven different heads-up classes at the WCF,” Jason explains.

This success is no accident at the WCF, as the Miller brothers have built this electric atmosphere over the past two decades through the product they put on the track. Racers know when they come to the WCF they’ll be getting the best track conditions possible to match the unparalleled weather that helps aid in record-breaking performances. “The great air conditions and the track prep we put down sets the stage for competitors to get conditions they don’t see any other time. We’ve had density altitudes as lows as -1,600 to -1,800, so racers can really throw everything they have at the track,” Jason says.

Over the years, the Miller brothers have added more to the WCF to elevate the event to a level that you won’t see anywhere else.

“The 25,000 people who come to the WCF get to see more than just best drag racers in the world cross swords over three days. Spectators can check out the world-class car show, bikini contest, and live entertainment that goes on during the WCF. This year we’ll have a 2,300 foot long vendor midway with 50 major companies displaying their products,” Jason explains.

The WCF provides an opportunity for fans of drag racing to see dream match-ups between racecars that normally don’t share the track together in competition. There is no other event where you get to see a screw-blown outlaw 10.5 car take on a five-second import machine. Do everything you can to be at Maryland International Raceway November 4-6 for the WCF, and experience this truly international racing event in person.
