The buffet of horsepower that’s on the menu at the Haltech World Cup Finals: Import vs Domestic Presented by Wiseco (WCF) is truly amazing. You never know what will make a pass at the WCF, and chances are, you’ll see some car that’s just so different from the rest. We scoured the pits at Maryland International Raceway during the 2022 edition of the WCF and found five cool vehicles to share with you.
Christine Dodworth’s 2013 Nissan GTR
Christine Dodworth has made a name for herself as one tough racer behind the wheel of her Nissan GTR. Her GTR makes around 2,500 all-wheel-drive horsepower, thanks to the T1 Race Development-built 4.3-liter engine. Dodworth’s car still uses a GR6 transmission to send all of that horsepower to each of the Nissan’s tires. This car is an absolute animal, winning at TX2Knand running a best of 7.07 at 208 mph, all while weighing 3,400 pounds.
“The car still has power steering and I could drive it on the street if we added headlights, so it’s a fun ride. I’m pretty competitive and just like going for it. I will stay in it to win when I can. The racing community is another reason I like racing…there are so many great people here, and it makes racing fun,” Dodworth says.
Jason Unch’s 1994 Chevy Truck
Jason Unch’s OBS Chevy truck has been a 20-year-long project that’s led to what you see now. A 427 cubic-inch LS engine works with a 104mm Bullseye turbo to generate a whole lot of horsepower. How much horsepower? Well, enough to send the big red machine through the 1/4-mile in 6.85 seconds at 197 mph.
“A friend of mine talked me into putting a turbo LS combo in the truck and that’s what started the project down this path. Every year I just wanted to go faster and faster until we got to this point. I kept the truck this long because I’ve always liked it, and it’s something you normally don’t see at the track. We spent a lot of time making sure everything has been done right,” Unch explains.
Juan Nieves’ 1980 Mazda GLC
At first glance, you might mistake Juan Nieves’ car for a Chevette, but it’s actually a Mazda…a very quick and fast one to be exact. The Mazda GLC is powered by a 1.3-liter two-rotor that receives boosted air from a 91mm Garrett turbo. Nieves stays busy inside the Mazda each pass as he rips on the Liberty five-speed transmission while the rotary engine screams to 10,800 rpm. This 90-inch wheelbase micro machine has been 7.32 at over 192 mph.
“I had another GLC,…
