A huge congratulations to Tim Essick who took the win over Michael Ziccardi in Outlaw vs Extreme!

In Super Street Shawn Ramey in his 2000 Civic was the most consistent racer in the class taking home the win!

Muhammad Ali in Radial vs Modified went the distance taking the #1 qualifying spot all the way to the winners circle!

Tommy Godfrey in a borrowed car and a just recently finished motor went into the World Cup race with not much testing but was able to make his way through the All Motor Field to take home the win!

The #1 qualifier in Outlaw vs Extreme, Isaias Rojas was the odds-on-favorite to take home the win this year but was upset in round two by Damon Chin in his 2005 Celica after Rojas spun the tires.

John Langer in his N/A Pontiac Firebird, a fan favorite on the domestic side, hangs the hoops en route to another mid 7-second pass!

Carlos Montano went into a spin and ended up on his roof. Montano was okay and exited under his own power.

John Kauderer, the #4 qualifier in Wild Street, launched and got a little out of shape mid-track and hit the wall hard. He ended up okay but the car was in rough shape.

Dale Collins, a regular Outlaw 10.5 racer in his Raspberry Rocket, had an issue with only one chute deploying and then blew a front tire trying to get it stopped. It looks like his belts did the job, as he’s just a bit sore. Hopefully the hit is repairable and we see him back out next year!

Nicky Notch and Jimmy Dolan have the YeTTi Lightning pickup on a tear in Warriors vs Tres Cuarto, running personal bests well into the 6's.

The owner of Salinas Speedway in Puerto Rico, Ramon Lopez, Jr. was on hand at the Haltech Import Domestic race as a guest of Jason Miller. Jason went down and helped out with the prep at Salinas earlier this season, leading to a host of career best runs.

Everyone was on there feet when the National Anthem from the United States and Puerto Rico played.

This year’s event enjoyed a record-setting crowd.

The first round of All Motor saw many of the domestics take the round win, many of them reaching for the sky!

Make sure to stop by the World Cup tent to pick up a shirt, hat, or hoodie! They are big sellers!

Real Street Performance, event sponsor Haltech, and Vortech are here at the 2018 World Cup to help racers out if they need any parts. Vortech has some of the strongest-running blowers in class racing today!
