The TX2K25 event was nothing short of legendary, delivering a jaw-dropping display of speed and fierce competition in the Roll Race Unlimited class. This year’s showdown was headlined by the Howeth brothers of Underground Racing, setting the stage for an event filled with record-breaking runs and an unforgettable finale. With 86 entries, the class was packed with 200+ MPH capable racers and TX2K25 was sure to be insane!
Qualifying and Record-Breaking Runs
Right from the start, KC and Kevin Howeth put Underground Racing and HPT Turbochargers at the forefront of the competition:
-
KC Howeth stormed into the #1 qualifying position, reaching a staggering 232 mph in his Underground Racing Twin Turbo STO.
-
Kevin Howeth secured the #2 spot, laying down an impressive 225 mph run.
-
KC’s 232 mph pass set a new TX2K Roll Race qualifying record, setting the tone for what was to come.
Shattering Records in the Main Event
As the event progressed, the Howeth brothers continued to obliterate the previously set records from years prior.
-
KC Howeth set a new TX2K Roll Race record with a 243.22 mph pass in his blue Twin Turbo Lamborghini.
-
Kevin Howeth answered with a 235.11 mph run in his yellow Twin Turbo Lamborghini.
-
Kevin then upped the ante, crushing the record with an astounding 246+ mph pass, making history in the process.
The Secret Sauce: HPT Turbo Power
A critical factor behind these groundbreaking performances was the newly added HPT Turbocharger technology under the hoods of the Howeth brothers' Lamborghinis. HPT's Quick Spool Technology provided the power necessary to push the Underground Racing builds to speeds never seen before in TX2K history. The synergy between Underground's world-class engineering and HPT’s cutting-edge Quick Spool Technology set a new benchmark in roll racing performance that will live in memory for years to come.
The Final Showdown: A Brotherly Face-Off with a Twist
The event was set to culminate in an epic final round between KC and Kevin Howeth. However, in an unexpected and lighthearted twist, their wives intervened, putting a halt to the high-speed sibling rivalry. Instead of an all-out battle on the strip, the winner was decided by a coin flip, officiated by none other than the CEO and owner of HPT Turbochargers, the legendary, Harry Hruska.
Team Underground Delivers Under Pressure
One of the most notable moments of the weekend took place in the pits. Team Underground Racing worked tirelessly, finishing the build of KC Howeth’s blue Lamborghini just in time for qualifying. That level of dedication and expertise ensured that the car was ready to compete at the highest level, proving once again why Underground Racing remains at the pinnacle of supercar performance.
