"10-28-2004 North Hollywood, CA- The Subaru/SPT/ESX drag racing team raised the bar again in the Sport Rear-Wheel-Drive class at the NHRA season finale at Pomona, CA. At the end of Saturday’s qualifying sessions Afshar had claimed the top position against some very stiff competition with a 9.447 second pass at 145.81MPH." link to article dead.

One correction: This wasn't the first sub 10 second, but the fastest, as another tuner went 9.7 @ 143 a few days earlier.

This car is still street driven (you can see the rear license plate in the video) and awd - the ESX drag car is not. It's also interesting that they practically hit the same mph as the fully-gutted and race prepped ESX drag car. They had some spark plug issues and new ones are going in today. They should be back for more this coming weekend. -Chike

Here's a short blurb about the car on Crawford's website:
"The Big Valley Crew coupled along with Crawford Performance's R3 shortblock own the streets with a USDM Subaru STi in full trim. Not only does it hold the world record for the fastest USDM STi it also is driven to and from the track for each event. The ultimate daily driver / drag racer comes with Air Conditioning, Radio, Power Windows and Door Locks. While this might seem not too impressive, there are not many cars that are fully equipped and ready to do battle at the drags. Weighing in at around 3500 pounds with the driver it is not a light car and will have no problem keeping up with big brother running V8's. Congratulations, Team Crawford Performance" http://www.crawfordperformance.com/r...info.cgi?id=10 -Chike

i like stories like that. the DEVEK team used to drive their 928 to the track, whip the crap out of the several hundred thousand dollar Porsche factory RSR trailered-in racecars, and then adjust their AC, turn on the stereo, and drive home. always cool when cars that fast are still driveable on the street and retain their interiors and stuff, too.

Where is the giant thread about the 3rd place podium finish in the 25 hours of Thunderhill?!? I'm actually kind of surprised that WRXs haven't been faster than that... I guess its just a matter of time though. Rather than creating a new thread, We can just make this the WRX racing thread... Read below: Quote:
