1. Door car slams a 5.46 et on the board:
On a blazing-hot late summer night in St. Louis at the Street Car Super Nationals at the Arch, Turky al Zafiri, aka "Scarface" blew away the recordbooks by laying down a 5.461 at 272.50 mph in the quickest side-by-side door car race against Frankie "The Madman" Taylor, who ran a 5.476 at 263.77 mph himself in the final round of the Outlaw Pro Mod class.

Of course, great conditions always bring with it possible record setting runs, which was the case at the Radial Fest in Huntsville. Brad Edwards set a 3.99 with his stock suspension Mustang. To watch the video, click here.
3. Pair of perfect lights in side-by-side race:
In the race for the NHRA Pro Stock championship last year, and for the first time on NHRA professional drag racing history (60+ years), two drivers recorded side-by-side perfect triple-zero reaction times. The drivers were none other than 2014 NHRA Pro Stock champ Erica Enders-Stevens and Jonathan Gray. Important mention is that Erica is the first woman to win this Championship.
