Justin Cyrnek’s S197 Has Been Making Waves All Over!
Green with Envy. It’s what the other racers were at this year’s Outlaw Street Car Reunion, when Justin Cyrnek and his venerable Harlequin-Hued SN197 blistered the eighth mile on just his third pass with a record-breaking 4.56 at 160 mph. “The whiners demanded a tech teardown,” Justin said of his tcompetitors. Yet despite their babbling about boost and blow off valves, the Verde Vroomer’s hair dryer blew right through inspection with highlighted—er, flying—colors. Word around the pits is a grudge match is in the offing.
Indeed, one of the most entertaining classes to watch at the 2017 OSCR is MX235. The small tire drag racing segment is en fuego, as it takes teeny tubes to the extreme, limiting racers to options like a 235/60/15 radial or a 26 x 8.5 x 15 slick. That, on cars weighing 3,000lbs with relatively limited modifications. For instance, racers can’t touch their front suspensions, and chassis alterations are strictly restricted. Small tires need big bite, though, so limited rear redos are allowed, and take full advantage of the super glue-like radial track prep OSCR lays down.
Even after becoming the Baron of Boost, the Sultan of the Small Slick, and decimating MX275, Justin had Jeffers swap the 88mm
