King of the Street 2022

What a day! Victoria turned on its best weather for Tunnel Vision‘s annual King of the Street. Held at the Heathcote Park Raceway, the event attracted the best and the fastest street cars from all over the state.

All hail the new kings!

The racing ran well into the evening plenty of exciting head-to-head battles. The main prize went to Alex Moshopoulo who got crowned the KOTS 2022 Grand Champion.

The fastest pass of the day went to George Chalikouras in his Capri with an 8.1sec pass. His Ford Capri is powered by a Haltech-controlled, twin-turbo Chevy 350.

Sam El-Haouli took out the Open class in his turbo LS-powered Holden LX Torana “WARTYM” using Haltech’s Elite 2500 ECU.

Barra Overload

This Barra-powered F100 truck was one of our absolute favourites at the event. It took Ryan over 2 years to build the beast and it’s great to finally see it at the track. The 1320hp turbo Barra is backed with a PowerGlide, custom 4-link and a 9”” rear end by Riotlab. Mackielec Industries are responsible for wiring the car and installing the Haltech Nexus R5. Tuned by Tunnel Vision Turbocharging.

Zlatko Nastoski‘s Barra-powered 1966 Ford Mustang wouldn’t look out of place in a showroom – just look at that engine bay! The turbo Barra makes over 700hp and is controlled by a Haltech Elite ECU.

Winning Windsor

Danko Knezevic competed in the 275 class in his Ford Capri powered by a 434ci Dart Windsor with two 70mm Precision turbos providing the boost. The whole setup is controlled by Haltech’s Elite 2500T.

FPV FTW!

Daniel Fletcher’s FPV F6 terrorized the Open class with its Haltech-controlled Barra Plugin ECU.

Wagon Wheels

Jake Cartledge campaigned his Haltech-controlled, turbo Barra-powered VK Commodore wagon.

More Barra Badassery!

And speaking of Barra-swapped cars, Joshua Tuskin classy XY Falcon (also powered by a Haltech-controlled Barra) competed in the Open class.

George Kotinis’ beautifully presented, RB-powered Holden VL.

Lutfi Yalcin‘s EB Falcon XR6 “JNRFPV” is powered by Barra’s (some say superior) predecessor – the SOHC Intech. Lutfi’s Falcon is controlled by a Haltech Elite 2500 ECU and tuned by Jason from Tunnel Vision.

Meck-Tech decided to forego both the Barra and the RB and instead squeezed a turbo LS in their VL Commodore.
