The baddest doorslammer racers from around the world converge this weekend on the fabled Maryland International Raceway for the annual running of the World Cup Finals — a true one-of-its-kid event pitting the top domestic and import teams head-to-head.
Alton and Valerie Clement are two NMRA Renegade regulars who made it to the 22nd Annual Haltech World Cup Finals. Look for both to go rounds once qualifying is over.
Jason and Royce Miller making sure the track here at Maryland International Raceway is in tip-top condition for all the racers on the grounds.
John Langer has had this Firebird for many years and has always been a front-runner. John is getting ready to make a trip down the quarter in the first round of qualifying.
The 22nd Annual Haltech World Cup Finals sees a new class added to the list: Wild Street, with a whole assortment of vehicles. Tommy Annunziata on the left in the Wild Street Mustang ran a stellar 7.737 at 177 MPH.
We have to thank Adam Ardnt for his service. For the past six months he was deployed overseas. It is great to see him back behind the wheel!
It's great to see Bill Lutz behind the wheel of Rob Sphar's beautiful Mustang. Bill ran an astounding 248 mph in the second qualifier of Outlaw vs Extreme!
Jimmy Dolan in the Lightning affectionately known as The Yeti ran a personal best of 7.28 at 188 mph today Jimmy just recently had Billy Pedus update some of the truck as well as moving to a Haltech setup that is tuned by Justin McChesney.
Two beautiful Mopars that are running in Outlaw vs Extreme. We have Michael Ziccardi in the John Balinsky OAB Racing-tuned Barracuda (left) and Rich Bruder driving Jack French's Challenger which is tuned by Rich's brother, Nick. Ziccardi ran well into the 6's for a personal best.
Jason Miller has the track on point as evidenced by Michael Martin's wife's sneakers stuck to the track!
Wheels up can be a good thing but unfortunately sometimes things break. The DragINT import went right and hit the wall. The driver was okay which is great to hear. Jerry Morgano (right) had the wheels up and went straight down the quarter in his small-block Ford-powered Mustang.
Manny Buginga, a champion of the NMRA Street outlaw class, is back running in Radial vs Modified.
Anthony Disomma, builder of many of the top teams motors out here racing, is here in his Mustang doing battle in Outlaw vs Extreme. Tony Oliveri is here in the SikGoat GTO giving his best in Radial vs Modified.
Isiah Rojas is here at the 22nd Annual Haltech World Cup Finals running his Nitrous fed Pro Mod in some exhibition runs. In X275 vs Hotrod many of the imports when spooling up shoot flames out which makes for some fun images!
Two racers made long treks to the World Cup Finals John Urist who has been racing for many years and knows the winners circle very well and Leroy Nabors Jr from Texas who is here racing the quarter mile for the first time after buying the formerly owned Charles Hull Mustang. Both made great passes but we saw Leroy dip into the 6 second zone in his second qualifying attempt.
Brian Devilbliss in his Mustang made the second quickest pass by a GT 500 with his run of 6.85!
