The 5th Annual Sport Compact Spring Nationals were held April 30th and May 1st, 2005 at Raceway Park in Old Bridge Township.  Due to the rain track officials were forced to close the entrance gates for the Saturday portion of this event.  As the rain continued into Sunday morning, the second day of the event seemed compromised as well.  At about 10:15 AM the weather changed and the rain stopped.  To the delight of all race fans, the gates were open for what would turn into another drag racing record breaking event at Englishtown.  The day was filled with all sorts of activities for the race fans including thrilling bracket Racing, an exciting review of female beauty in the Bikini Contest, and Dyno testing were just some of the things to see in between some of the best NHRA racing action of the 2005 season.  One of the record breaking runs was made by Justin Humphreys in his Lexus GS300 with his 7.33 pass.
