21st Annual World Cup Finals Same Day Coverage From MDIR

WCF16-LEAD

More than 500 racers from at least 10 different countries have converged on the Maryland International Raceway for the 21st running of the Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals, with 32-car fields on tap in seven different heads-up eliminators. Some of the world’s quickest and fastest import and domestic-powered vehicles will go head-to-head on the 1/4-mile, and not only will they be chasing bragging rights, but with the cool November air there to greet them, world records just might fall, as well.

As always, a huge shout to the team at Fuel Air Spark Technology, whose support of Dragzine makes our coverage at this and every race possible!
