The good folks over at the racing-focused ImportRace channel on YouTube are not at their usual venue - Island Dragway in Great Meadows, New Jersey, but at MIR – aka Maryland International Raceway, located in Mechanicsville, Maryland!
Most likely, they were there initially for some great RaceMotive roll racing action – the venue proposes every month from May through October this year events at four different venues (Pocono Raceway, Maryland International Raceway, Maple Grove Raceway, and the New Jersey Motorsports Park) for as many great roll-racing & drag-racing experiences as possible.
So, initially, Pocono was the most visited because over there, RaceMotive has no less than six events on the schedule, but this time around, the videographer is not bringing excerpts from Pocono and instead visited MIR to check out the offer – and probably left impressed. After all, the event had drag and roll racing, street cars, bikes, a car show, and even a drifting exhibition. Of course, the most interesting stuff happened on the prepped track.
As such, a recent video focused on the roll racing action and a white knight in shiny armor, a second-generation Acura NSX hybrid sports car. The NSX valiantly fought against a crimson Chevrolet Camaro SS, a gray Ford Mustang GT, and even a red Audi RS 3 sedan. However, some people might not like roll racing as their fixture is only about quarter-mile digs. No worries. They have us covered by that department, too.
Thus, on this occasion, the focus switched to another white knight in shiny motorsport armor. More precisely, an excerpt from the drag racing setup at Maryland International Raceway had a 991.2 Porsche 911 Turbo S go up against a trio of representative foes. First up, of course, was the eternal Ford Mustang GT – which seemed ready to give the more expensive Porsche a run for its money.
However, just as the American muscle car was catching up to its German-engineered opponent, disaster almost struck, and the Ford driver battled heavily for control of the untamed monster – narrowly avoiding a classic Mustang crash. As such, the 10.25s versus 12.47s result doesn't even matter anymore. We're just happy everyone was alright – including the cars.
Next up, a Mopar came along – a silver Dodge Charger SRT kicked off the proceeds a bit faster than usual and hit the red light on the Christmas tree because of its minus 0.52 reaction time. Unfortunately for the Mopar fans, even if this were a clean race, it still wouldn't have mattered because the 911 easily caught up to its opponent and dropped a 9.94s hammer on its 11.12s opponent.
Last but not least, a BMW M5 also strolled along – with the rear window open. Obviously, that's not the proper way to race, hence the 9.86s versus 11.09s loss! Well, that was one cool Turbo S, right?
