Heralded each year for cool temperatures and killer track prep, which combined result in amazing runs and sold-out crowds, the World Cup Finals Import vs. Domestic event at Maryland International Raceway got underway yesterday. A total of eleven classes got their first look at the track in qualifying, and started the work towards possibly earnign a share of two-hundred thousand dollars in payout, plus the coveted World Cup Finals trophy.

The newest build for the Cleetus McFarland camp started at Cameron Johnson Race Cars in May this year, as a new ‘69 Camaro takes aim at the 5-second zone.

Yesterday, the latest build out of CJRC hit the track at Bradenton Motorsports Park to get Cleetus ready for World Cup Finals at Maryland International Raceway this week.

After two-plus years away from the scene, Doug Cook and his storied 1972 Chevrolet Nova came into 2024 with some goals. By October, the Nova has already put in a bunch of street miles, delivered a chunk of solid runs on the track, and even won a Sick Summer class. But Doug and the crew aren’t done yet, but recently they checked off a big box during a test session.
