World Record Shattered Shawn Cowie made drag racing history at Mission Raceway over the weekend, unleashing a record-smashing performance that left fans and fellow racers in awe. During qualifying at the NHRA Northwest National Open, held June 13–15, 2025, Cowie piloted his blown alcohol dragster to a stunning 5.115-second pass at 281.25 MPH—the fastest ever recorded for the class. It was the kind of run that instantly changes conversations in the pits, and it sent a clear message: the bar has just been raised. What made the moment even more special was the setting. Mission Raceway, already known for its fast surface and devoted fan base, became the backdrop for a defining run in Top Alcohol Dragster history. Cowie, a Canadian favorite and seasoned veteran, didn’t just break the record—he obliterated it with authority, combining razor-sharp reaction times with a machine perfectly tuned for peak performance. The grandstands erupted as the numbers flashed on the board, and within minutes, word of the feat spread across the drag racing community. More than a personal best, Cowie’s run elevated the entire weekend and reinforced Mission Raceway’s growing legacy as a stage for greatness. For fans who witnessed it live, it wasn’t just a qualifying pass—it was a once-in-a-generation moment.
