I'm trying to track down some information on the following RX-3 that Racing Beat raced in the 1977 Winter Nationals.



What I would like to find out is:

What engine was in it? I believe it was a 12A Bridge Port?

What times was it running? I believe it was in the 12's?

Any other specific details on the vehicle that anyone might know.

 

Yes you are correct. Jim Mederer indicates that the car ran 12.20 @108.80 MPH.

Best regards,

It's in Puerto Rico now.

 

Really

 

Yes, I went to Racing Beat and talked to them a bit whilst buying an air filter for my dellorto.

Both the Rx3 drag and 79 IMSU road race cars are in Puerto Rico. And still being raced from what he said!

 

Did they say why Puerto Rico?

 

Because someone in Puerto Rico had the CA$H.

 

If that's the same car I was told about, it had a Dana 60 rearend with 7.17 gears.
