LAFERRIERE CONTINUES TO MAKE HISTORY ON 275MM TIRES!
Since 2024, Rhode Islander Eric LaFerriere has owned the performance marks in the X275 Eliminator events which follow the rules of John Sears, creator of a wildly diverse and popular category which is filled with a variety of V8 engines and induction systems. Wheeling the“ White Rice” 1997 Nissan 240SX coupe of Houstonian Duy Bui, the duo have now dropped the official eighth-mile X275 records down to 4.03 seconds during the Battle of Thrones race at Rockingham, NC, and raised the speed mark to an incredible 185.15 mph at Donald Long’ s recent Lights Out 16 showdown at Cecil, GA, all on a 10.82-inch wide radial rear tire. The difference comes from the team’ s choice of a Toyota 2JZ 190 cubic inch inline six-cylinder, an 88mm Precision Turbo and a MoTec ECU. Since the car utilizes a Mark Micke Turbo 400 automatic transmission, X275 rules also permit the 2JZ to use nitrous oxide injection from Nitrous Outlet.
Eric and Dui,( pronounced“ Dewey”),
TOP 8
already own the quarter-mile X275 records at 6.31 / 233.03 set during the 28th annual Haltech World Cup Finals at Maryland International Raceway. However, the team decided to shoot for another international mark at the recent Summit TX2K25 meet,(“ Texas 2025”), which
moved from the now-defunct Houston Raceway Park to the Texas Motorplex.
Since the rules are much less restrictive at the gigantic TX2K25 race, the duo changed to a 110 mm Precision Turbo, a reconfigured M & M 400TH transmission, a different rearend gear and took 125 pounds of weight out of the car. The result was a jaw-dropping 6.081-second,
