Looks like a great day to go racing!

Today, some of the fastest cars in the country take the tarmac of Pennsylvania’s Pitt Race to answer one question: Who has the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car.
Simply put, the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge is our annual search for the fastest track machine on four wheels.
Whether its factory-bought or home-built, new or old, as long as both car and driver can pass a safety inspection, it’s eligible to compete.
Prizes? Oh yeah, we have several up for grabs that go deep into the field, and entrants will be featured in an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports.
Check out this year’s schedule of events, and take a look at who’s competing this year.
The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge will be held alongside SCCA Time Trials Nationals. New for 2025, the weekend will also be joined by Superfly, a celebration of ’90s and 2000s car culture.
The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge is presented by Grassroots Motorsports and fueled by Sunoco, in association with Wilwood, Vitour Tire, CRC Industries, Vbox Motorsport and Red Line Oil, with trophies from BimmerWorld, Nine Lives Racing, and Falken Tire.

Unofficially, it looks like Brian Faessler in his 2017 Ford Mustang is the fastest so far, with a 1:42.443 lap. Second fastest is Andrew DeKoning in his Tesla Model S, with a 1:47.204 lap.
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
I can't say I'm totally surprised, that Mustang is fast.
Just a handful of my favorite pics so far:
(So many rad track cars ... and truck 
)
As we head into the final heats, here's how the top of the time sheets is looking:
