Ned Dunphy Secures Drag and Drive World Record with 6.178 Average

What a weekend! Huge congratulations to Ned Dunphy for making history and locking in the Drag and Drive World Record with a blazing 6.178 average,beating Jeff Lutz's previous overall average record of 6.1918 seconds.

The Grind Behind the Glory

If you know Drag and Drive, you know it is not just about running fast once. It is about driving your car hundreds of miles on real roads, then showing up to the track and laying down some of the quickest passes anyone has ever seen. Ned and his team did exactly that, logging over 700 miles of street driving before putting down world record runs at over 75 psi of boost. That is not just speed, that is stamina.

Built for the Challenge

At the heart of Ned’s record setting combination is an SMX platform motor. Pro Line Racing was fortunate to play a role in helping spec and build the combo to withstand the brutal demands of Drag Week. Working alongside Ned, we have been able to fine tune and improve the setup over time, making sure it could not only survive the road miles but thrive on the track.

Why It Matters

Moments like this are what Drag and Drive is all about. It is proof that determination, teamwork, and a lot of late nights in the shop pay off. Ned’s record is not just a number, it is a benchmark that shows what is possible when driver and machine refuse to quit.

Big congrats again to Ned and his crew. This one is for the books, and we are proud to have been part of the ride.
