The stands were packed at the Summit Raceway in Norwalk and with the pits filled at the same time the attendance was estimated at over 50,000– more than the average amount for NHRA National Events. This came as no surprise as the Night Under Fire has been recognized as the largest single-day Drag Racing event on the planet! It is an exhibition drag racing show open only to invited racers. Our very own local Sheldon Bissessar was specially invited to make some passes with three of the fastest Top Dragsters on the planet today including previous IHRA World Record holder Troy Stone.

Weather conditions were extremely harsh with ambient temperatures at roughly 30-40˚F which is great for building power for the engine but not so good for traction. This was evident in the few practice runs where trying to get the car to hook was seemingly impossible with the Rocket’s supercharged, methanol-powered engine.
For 2010, Sheldon has won all five International events entered so far in the United States and has set the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Top Dragster World Record in a ¼ mile time of 5.78 seconds at 242MPH.
Sheldon Bissessar and PTRT would like to thank their sponsors Methanex, Total Lubricants, VP Racing Fuels and PSTL for their support.
