Hope you have your beer and Cracker Jacks, because we officially us have a ballgame.

On Tuesday morning, the Puerto Rico-based Zoian Racing team, perennial frontrunners in the import racing scene, blasted to the quickest import-powered pass in drag racing history at the Orlando Speed World Dragway in Florida with a 5.757-second, 246.40 mph lap, sending shockwaves nearly halfway around the globe to the country of Bahrain, where the more heavily-funded EKanoo Racing squad, the former world record holders, are based.

Zoian, testing for this weekend’s Sport Compact Finals at Orlando, let it all hang out in their David versus Goliath attempt at the record, going .976 to sixty-feet, 3.810 at 202.27 mph to the 1/8-mile, 4.861 to 1,000-feet, and tripping the left lane scoreboard with a number once thought impossible: 5.757.

The number usurps the former record set by EKanoo and American driver Gary White, who recorded a stunning 5.774 at the Bahrain International Circuit in January of this year. The Zoian team and its driver, Jesus Melendez, had joined the still-exclusive five-second import club just a month ago with a 5.91-second pass at Orlando in their Gasolina Urban Blends-sponsored Toyota Camry, and wasted little time in pushing the performance envelope in their quest for history.

The Rick Jones Race Cars-built, Pro Mod-style Camry is powered by a turbocharged Toyota 2JZ built by Ramsamy Racing Engines and tuned by Wilbert Performance via a MoTec M800 ECU.

A total of seven import-powered cars from five different teams and three countries have recorded five-second runs to date, but none had come within a tenth of a second of White’s record lap until Tuesday, when Zoian gained a tenth and a half from their previous best in one shot — the shot heard halfway around the world.
