Don Burton And Manny Buginga Smash 1/4 Mile Radial Records At WCF

The World Cup Finals (WCF) is one of the last big events that run radial cars the full quarter-mile. Each year, you’ll find an all-star cast of small-tire racers that make the journey to Maryland International Raceway to compete at the WCF and maybe set a record.

This year at the WCF, Manny Buginga and Don Burton added their names to the radial record books by putting up some insane numbers. Buginga smashed the overall quarter-mile radial tire record with a 5.759-second pass at over 228 MPH. Burton became the first person to ever make a 5-second pass on a Mickey Thompson 275 radial tire with his 5.881-second blast down the track at nearly 229 MPH. Buginga and Burton’s Mustangs used Pro Line Racing powerplants, FuelTech ECUs, and superchargers from ProCharger to make these historic passes.

Check out the video where we talked with Buginga and Burton about their record-breaking runs at the WCF.
