Take a look at this, Cleetus is HERE & a NEW WORLD RECORD is made at Tx2k final day!
The final day of qualifying at TX2K always brings pressure, fast cars, and record chasing runs, but this year’s event delivered something even bigger. With huge crowds, record setting passes, and the arrival of Cleetus McFarland, the atmosphere felt more like a championship weekend than a qualifying session.
TX2K has become one of the most important drag racing events for high horsepower street cars and roll racing machines. The event attracts some of the fastest street style cars in the world, including twin turbo Lamborghinis, Nissan GTRs, Supras, and high horsepower American builds. Many of these cars produce well over 2,000 horsepower and are built specifically for half mile, roll racing, and drag racing competition.
On the final day of qualifying, conditions were ideal for record attempts. Cooler air and a well prepared track allowed teams to push harder than earlier in the week. That is usually when world records fall, because teams already have data from previous runs and can increase boost, adjust timing, and push the cars closer to their limits.
The highlight of the day came when one of the top competitors laid down a record breaking pass, setting a new benchmark for the class. Runs like this do not happen by accident. Teams spend months preparing engines, transmissions, and aerodynamic setups just for a few seconds of full power during an official pass.
Meanwhile, Cleetus McFarland’s presence added even more attention to the event. Known for bringing huge fan engagement wherever he goes, his arrival in the pits drew crowds and cameras. Events like TX2K have grown partly because of personalities like him who help bring drag racing to a wider audience through online content and media coverage.
The final day of qualifying is always about positioning for eliminations. A strong qualifying position gives teams a better matchup in the elimination rounds, which can make the difference between an early exit and a deep run into the event.
By the end of qualifying, the leaderboard was packed with incredibly fast cars, and the stage was set for elimination day. Records had already been broken, rivalries were forming, and teams were preparing for the most important rounds of the event.
TX2K continues to prove that modern street car drag racing is evolving rapidly. Every year cars become faster, technology improves, and records fall.
And when the final day of qualifying ends with a world record, everyone knows the eliminations are going to be even more intense.
