THE WA

MASTERMIND

Jomar Gomez roasts the rear slicks as he prepares to take the “ New MasterMind ” Toyota down the Orlando Speed World quarter-mile strip for another import world record attempt . Earlier in the weekend , Gomez set a new import speed record with a blistering 5.656-second pass at 262.74 mph . The 2JZ-powered entry electrified the crowd at Orlando , one of the country ’ s hotbeds for import racing . The car isn ’ t new to setting records , as it ’ s the former Lizzy Musidriven “ King Kong 7 ” Pro Nitrous Dodge Dart with some emblem changes and an engine swap from a nitrous-fed Musi 959 to a turbocharged six-cylinder engine .
