As winter begins to wane in the Northern Hemisphere, it fails to deter the spirit of spring events across sunny regions of the United States. In places like the South, excitement brews as locals gear up for wild adventures at the quarter-mile dragstrip.
While major events loom on the horizon, some have already commenced, offering thrilling spectacles for enthusiasts. For instance, the 2024 edition of TX2K held at the Texas Motorplex in Ferris, Texas, near Dallas, has already witnessed its fair share of exhilarating action.
The racing-focused ImportRace channel on YouTube has diligently captured the highlights of TX2K24, including some of the more explosive moments, such as the unfortunate crashes involving a Ford Mustang, an Audi R8, and a skillfully customized vintage Nissan Z.
Notably, Dodge seems to have stolen the show at TX2K, with its powerful performance machines dominating the track. A particularly striking highlight captured on video showcases a crimson Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, purportedly setting a new world record with a blistering 7.488-second pass.
While details regarding the record’s specifics remain scant, it’s clear that Dodge’s performance prowess is on full display. As the L-bodied series Charger bids farewell to pave the way for the eighth-generation model, enthusiasts eagerly anticipate whether the upcoming iteration can replicate the achievements of its predecessor.
In one memorable race documented in the video, the Charger faced off against a formidable opponent, a black Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Despite initial struggles with a wheelie at the start, the Charger surged ahead to secure victory with an impressive time of 9.18 seconds.
Subsequent races against other challengers, including a widebody Challenger, further showcased the Charger’s formidable capabilities. With each triumph, the Charger solidified its reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the quarter-mile strip.
In the showdown against a silver Chevrolet Camaro, the Charger delivered a flawless performance, demonstrating its dominance with a lightning-fast 7.488-second pass at an impressive speed of 184 mph (296 kph). The Camaro, in contrast, faltered with a significantly slower time of 14.33 seconds.
As the dust settles on another exhilarating event, enthusiasts are left in awe of the Charger’s remarkable performance and eagerly anticipate future showdowns on the dragstrip.
