Thumbs up Amazing he ran those numbers with carbs and NOS

People used to talk a lot of smack about that car because it was so light, but I saw Falito race his 7 in Sacramento many years ago and I was very impressed. Truly one of the pioneers of the Rotary game. I heard he was bringing out a new car, but I have not seen any news about the new setup.

Does anybody know what happened to David Turbo. I used read a lot of good things about that 1200 back in the day. That little 1200 sounded pretty wicked.

That video has to be at least 10 years old.

Thanks for sharing some cool videos.

FAlito's new car is a RX8, it ran 7.0 back to back; however due to some sponsor BS, he has not been able to race the car at all.

I'm really close friends with his sis n bro-n-law here in Charlotte. Do you know when going to race his car again? Seen some videos when he first raced in Morroso said he needed to tune some more.

At moroso there were a lot of complications with the clutch setup.
He tried to go out last Friday but it got rained out at the track due to all the hurricanes in the area presently. Kinda sucked to drive 500 miles round trip to get rained out on a test -n-tune!
He will be back as soon as the weather permits.

I was at Salinas one time for an event. Back then it was more a rotor vs piston event and one side of the bleachers the crowd had pistons in hand and the other side rotors in hand!. I'll tell you what never find yourself located below the bleachers when the slamming begins. It can be dangerous at some times!
