qualifier for the Mickey Thompson Tires and Wheels Outlaw vs . Extreme Eliminator with the 5.546 at 263.98 mph , the sixteen-car field of which included fifteen five-second entries and had a 6.07 bump spot . That was enough to erase the four year-old six-cylinder record of 5.557 by Arnaldo Santiago ’ s 2JZ-powered 2018 Scion FRS set at the same event in 2019 and the 262.74 mph speed mark of Jomar Gomez ’ s 2JZ-motivated Dodge Dart , ( both racers also from Puerto Rico ), at Orlando ( FL ) SpeedWorld in 2021 .
Melendez , who has held the all-time Rotary-powered eighth-mile speed record for eight years , then hit 5.552 at 264.98 during eliminations . The run was actually the fastest speed ever achieved by any wheel-driven doorslammer in MDIR history ! During the event , Melendez also delivered the eighth-mile six-cylinder elapsed time record to the La Natty team with a 3.677 which surpassed Santiago ’ s 3.693 from 2019 but the Corolla ’ s best eighth-mile speed
