Don’t see a Drag Page on this RX7 Forum???

Don’t see a Drag Page on this RX7 Forum??? I been doing a lot of reading on here and Wow you guys talk talk talk about Right way and the wrong way for everything on all 3 Gen’s. But No Drag Page. Nothing gives me more of a Woody than seeing RX7’s Doing a Drag. I can’t be the only one building one??? I got about 25 WMP movies and I watch them every night before bed time with my honey. THAT IS MY QUESTION! AND WILL I GET A ANSWER??? ( then again I am a dork ) = ) Drag on the Brain, Methanol waiting to be pored in the tank. TheFunksYourBrother.

Wow the enthusiasm here.

You mean to tell me you guys don’t go out to drag anyone. Ever? Not even at a stoplight? Wow it’s a kick in the pants to hear some guy rev up his motor at a light when no one is around and hit the shifter hard in to 2nd gear blast down the road. That would be called a Kill where I’m at. Hmmm, Not even on the freeway!

I'm with ya man. All out, ***** to the wall, ground pounding quarter mile runs. And in case there's a question, the steering wheel is for the return road. without it we wouldn't be able to get back to the starting line.

Is that an excuse for a slow car? If mine did a 10 second pass I would be thrilled all day.

Drag racing is great, but its not what the RX-7 was built for so you don't see it too much on these forums. It was built to go around corners fast and thats what people do with them. They do autocross and circuit racing with them. I think for every one RX-7 thats built to drag race, there is probably 20-25 built to autocross.

RX7 Drag

There’s a Kill Section on here. Cool So ok don’t believe all that you hear. Well I am new at this forum stuff and I’m the kind of guy who like to keep things true cause you never know who will be at the Track one day and say. Hey Di#% head, Your that Dude that talks Sh/# all the time. Hahaha! Like I read that one Dude said on here that he can pull a 12a out with his bare hands.
Right! I’m 6’4’ 245lbs and bench 205 and I cant do that. Now if it was just the short block with nothing on it? I know I tried picking up a 12a in the back of a truck…I took 2 of us. That sucked fully loaded. Ill be looking for THe KillS. Thanks
