Last weekend the NX DuraMax powered diesel dragster made its debut at the NHRDA FASS Nationals at the fabled home of the US Nationals in Indianapolis Indiana. With seventeen year old NHRA World Junior Dragster Champion Emily Herod at the wheel, the NX car rolled out of the trailer and set low ET of the meet on its first pass down the quarter mile racing surface! The NHRDA World Record for the Top Diesel class is 7.67 seconds. The NX dragster ran a
7.82@172 MPH, however a cracked exhaust header prevented us from trying to reset the existing record with a more aggressive tune-up. As the day of racing wore on the final round pitted Emily against a Cummins powered Altered who had already eliminated John Robinson's mighty Cummins powered Funny car. Knowing the NX car was steadily losing performance from the damaged header Emily calmly did her burnout, staged the car and proceeded to put an excellent light on the Altered and she never looked back, taking the win with a decisive 7.96@170 MPH

The weekend was an unqualified success, low qualifier, top speed, and event winner, how much better could it get? The NX team is already hard at work repairing the car and getting ready to attend the NADM event in Numidia, Pennsylvania. We hope to be the quickest, fastest, most feared car on the diesel racing circuit.

Wish us luck!

Congrats. Beautiful car and young lady driving. Congrats to you all.

Note: You posted this in the NADM section though...
 
Thanks Guys. There were countless hours from several several individuals to make this happen. We are glad to see it making good times so far. Once all the small bugs get worked out I'm confident it will be a record setting ride!


Thanks again,
Clay @NX
