This past weekend at the first event of the 2017 Modern Street Hemi Shootout, the Epling Garage Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat set another world record for the quickest Hellcat in the quarter mile, but this time, it wasn’t just among manual transmission cars – as the smokin’ fast 9.06 is the quickest quarter mile time run by any Hellcat car, ever.

Late last month, the Epling Garage “007” Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat set the new quarter mile record for the quickest manual transmission Hellcat car – running a 9.272 at 146.3 miles per hour – and this morning I had a chance to talk to Leon Epling about how this father-and-son team reached this record.
