2. World cup finals records broken
   1. Carl Brunet in his GM Ecotec-powered Pontiac GXP in the Four-Cylinder race, set a new four-cylinder world record with an incredible run of 5.828 seconds at 242.71 mph 
   2. Mark Benston Jr. of Delaware reset the Outlaw Drag Radial elapsed time world record four separate times throughout the weekend. Qualified third with his turbocharged 2002 Chevrolet Camaro thanks to a record-setting 5.752 at 254.14 mph run, Benston was on a tear as he continued to improve throughout eliminations. After securing a first-round win, Benston clicked off a 5.733 at 254.76 mph hit in round two. 
      In the semi-finals, his 5.713 at 252.00 mph blast put him through to the finals, where Benston bested John Odom with a monumental 5.697 at 254.66 mph pass, finalizing not only his overall win but also obliterating the world record once more.
