9.98 @ 134 MPH: Inside Andrews & Hofmann's Dodge Challenger Drag Pak Run at Toronto Motorsports Park
https://youtu.be/tsww61vQo2U?si=muhR0zZtafikl5c-
Five runs. One 9.98. Andrews & Hofmann Racing's Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak (car #1184) spent a session at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario chasing its 10.05 class index — and came within two-hundredths of a second of running into the 9s.
Here's the full breakdown of the run, the car, and the class it's racing in.
The Run Data
Run 1: 9.98 @ 134.17 mph
Run 2: 10.00 @ 133.74 mph
Run 3: 10.06 @ 130.87 mph
Run 4: 10.11 @ 134.41 mph
Run 5: 10.22 @ 133.10 mph
9-Second Drag Pak or 10-Second Drag Pak?
Depends how you slice it. The 9.98 is real — for one run, this Challenger was legitimately a 9-second car. But four of the five passes landed in the 10.0-10.2 range, which makes it, in practice, a consistent low-10-second combo that's capable of dipping into the 9s on the right run. That nuance matters if you're tracking this car's history: the 9.98 is the number worth bragging about, but the 10.0-10.2 average is the one that's repeatable.
About the Car, Team, and Class
This is a Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak — a factory-built, drag-race-ready Challenger produced through Mopar/Direct Connection, the same lineage of car that also races as the Chevrolet COPO Camaro and Ford Mustang Cobra Jet in factory muscle car drag racing.
Car #1184 is campaigned by Andrews & Hofmann Racing, with Bob & Susan Andrews listed on the car. It competes in NHRA Stock Eliminator's Factory Stock division, class FS/D — the sportsman-level index class for factory drag cars, distinct from the touring pro "Factory Stock Showdown" series (the one that runs on NHRA's FOX broadcasts in the 7-second range). In FS/D, the printed number that matters is the 10.05 index: run quicker than that consistently, and you're chasing a class record.
The session took place at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario — home of Ontario drag racing since 1955, and one of the tracks Mopar Bro covers most often.
