### Article: World Cup Finals 2021 - The craziest race we've filmed all year

#### Introduction

The World Cup Finals 2021 brought together some of the most intense and action-packed drag racing moments ever captured on film. With cars boasting over 2500 horsepower, 3000 horsepower, and even rotary-powered vehicles, this event was a testament to speed, skill, and sheer adrenaline. The starting line was always sticky, thanks to Jason Miller's prep, and the race track was filled with cars like Supras, RX7s, GTRs, Starlets, Camaros, and Mustangs—each one pushing the limits of what these machines can do.

#### A Near Miss at the Start

As the excitement kicked off, one driver experienced a harrowing moment. After starting in the eighth lane, he ended up on his roof but managed to walk away unharmed. The driver admitted that he couldn't save the car after oil got under the tires, causing the vehicle to go loose. Despite reaching 148 mph at the eighth, the car’s fate was sealed. The driver expressed regret over losing a car they had owned for 25 years but remained philosophical about it.

#### Record-Breaking Performances

The event saw several records fall. CJ, known for his Subaru h-pattern runs, marked the fourth anniversary of his first sub-7-second pass. George pushed his GTR to an incredible 6.51 at 233 mph, breaking the previous record of 6.54. This was a thrilling moment, especially as George had only one more qualifying run left. Meanwhile, Manny Bujinga set a new radial record with a 5.75 pass in his ProCharger Hemi-powered Mustang.

#### A Dramatic Return

A driver who suffered a catastrophic explosion the previous year made an impressive return. After traveling back to North Carolina and receiving help from Tim Brown and others, he managed to fix his car in just nine hours. The driver’s determination paid off as he qualified for True Street and continued racing.

#### Torque Steering Chaos

Another highlight was a Toyota Corolla that struggled with torque steering. Despite this challenge, the driver managed to push through and secure a photo finish, barely edging out a competitor.

#### A Stellar Debut

A debut pass by Christine, George’s wife, was nothing short of impressive. She achieved 200 mph in her half-mile run, setting a personal best. Her performance left everyone in awe, showcasing the potential of import cars in the racing circuit.

#### The Hardest Pass

Don Burton, known for his 5-second radial runs, faced a tough battle but managed to secure a win with a 5.93 at 254 mph pass. His car’s alignment and straight-line performance were crucial factors in this hard-fought victory.

#### Conclusion

The World Cup Finals 2021 was a weekend of unforgettable moments—record-breaking passes, dramatic comebacks, and heart-stopping races. The event highlighted the passion and skill of drag racers, proving why it remains one of the most thrilling spectacles in motorsports.
