Zoian Steals Six-Cylinder Record from Ekanoo!
The Zoian / New Generation Toyota Camry has accomplished the unimaginable; the Puerto Rico-based machine robbed Bahrain’ s renowned EKanoo team of the official six-cylinder elapsed time mark with a staggering 5.757-second effort at the recent 2nd annual Sport Compact Finals at Orlando( FL) Speed World Dragway.
With current all-time Rotary Record Holder Jesus Melendez at the wheel of the teams RJ Race Cars-built 2014 Toyota Camry, the Gasolina Urban Blends-backed rig not only beat Gary White’ s previous 5.77 best in the EKanoo 2015 Toyota GT86 but beat both of White’ s eighth-mile records with a 3.810 at 202.27 mph on the same pass. The Zoian team’ s 207-cubic inch Toyota 2JZ six-cylinder powerplant, built by Papito Ramsamy and tuned by Wilbert Performance, left White with only the current quarter-mile speed standard for the breed at 252.29 mph. Melendez also scored new records for machinery utilizing a single turbocharger.
Meanwhile, the EKanoo Team is preparing to compete in their home country’ s annual winter drag racing series and owner Ebrahim
Kanoo, driver White and tuner Shane Tecklenburg have vowed to regain global domination of six-cylinder performance!
Fiscus Breaks All Quarter- Mile Drag Radial Barriers!
Only a handful of races allow Drag Radial competition beyond an eighth-mile distance but Kevin Fiscus utilized the exceptional preparation at two different tracks to become the first Radial driver to clock a five-second, 250 mph run over 1320 feet and then to bomb his own marks into oblivion.
Testing at Orlando( FL) just prior to the Sport Compact Finals, he took the infamous blue 1993 Mustang which he campaigns with Josh Klugger to a brutal 5.973 / 251.77 before his home state fans which smashed Roger Holder’ s previous records by thirteen hundredths of a second and almost six miles per hour.
Four weeks later, the twin-turbocharged ProLine 526 cubic inch-powered ride headed to Maryland International Raceway’ s 21st annual Haltech World Cup Finals barnburner where“ Flash” Fiscus opened with a 5.97 at an incredible 252.05 mph and proceeded to unload four more five-second blasts with a best elapsed time of 5.928 en route to winning the event’ s $ 20,000 prize.
It should be noted Fiscus and Klugger then took their TT ProLine-motivated 2012 Mustang Pro Modified entry back to Orlando for the following week’ s World Street Nationals XXIII showdown where their“ faster car” ran a best of 5.722 at 260.46 and pocketed ANOTHER $ 20,000 for their third consecutive WSN victory!
