F.A.S.T. record falls to 10.53 at Musclepalooza VIII

Dave Dudek warms up the tires in his Hemi Road Runner

As always, we’ve returned from Musclepalooza with a metric truckload of photos, of both the extensive show and of the highly competitive drag racing, so further photos will be forthcoming. But we wanted to post this little bit of news: Dave Dudek in his Hemi-powered Road Runner dropped the F.A.S.T. record from its existing (and rather long-standing) 10.59 down to 10.54, and then in the very next round of racing, dropped it again…

thanks, Dave, for setting the record in the Hemmings lane

…to 10.53. He then backed that e.t. up in the next round with a second 10.53-second run. Keep in mind, that’s 10 and a half seconds on bias-ply street tires. Traction was obviously the name of the game, and the track workers did an excellent job with the rosin bag and VHT. The cool air temperature and the sun beating down on the track all day long surely helped.

So Dave took home that $1,000 check from Hemmings, along with bragging rights and a big ol’ target for the next F.A.S.T. race.
