Kicking off 2014 with a rip, eight 900-horsepower off-road Pro4 trucks will race head-to-head in the snowy climate of Maine’s renowned Sunday River Resort on Friday, January 10 for Red Bull Frozen Rush.

The name Jeff Zwart resonates with loyal Porsche 911 enthusiasts on a personal level. If you’re not familiar with his name, you’ve certainly been enjoying his work, because Jeff has been one of the key creative minds behind Porsche’s advertising campaigns for over 20 years. He has filmed and photographed everything from motorsports to the latest production models, coffee table books, posters, and art pieces.
He began his love affair with the 911 as a teenager learning to drive in his Father’s early Porsche 901. Today he’s known for setting and breaking records racing 911s through the clouds at Pikes Peak. He refers to the 911 as “…a car that ups your game.”

On the other is a Ford Fiesta ST Competition Car — a 2.0L, 550+ horsepower engine with an OlsbergsMSE gearbox with custom ratios driven by Tanner Foust.
For fun, we took one of each to zMAX Dragway in Charlotte…just to see how the two would compare on the quartermile.
