does any one have film of the blue rx7 that crashed.
there was a blue full chasis fc that crashed after the time lights doing over 160mph i believe it did 7.60 right before it crashed i saw it flip over but because of the smoke i could see much.

 

that was crazy, i saw the whole thing...as soon as he pulled his parachute, he slammed into the left wall then flipped over and bursted into smoke/flames..

he did walk away from it!!

 

^^ yo thats crazy. Hope everything is okay. That was some fast time though =)

 

There was a NOPI event this weekend?!?!? Wow, that sucks........talk about not paying attention. I went to the car show in md. and it was rather boring....for me that is.

 

Yeah man I was over by the starting lanes so I couldn’t see exactly what happened I have been trying to get footage but I guess no one recorded that crash

 

at least the driver's ok

 

Here's the video of that crash...

That's the same guy that was at the New Haven ,Ct. dyno meet in March. He was pushing 780hp+ on the dyno. That was some serious hp. Great video sad outcome.

 

and it was a good looking fc

Are you sure? because the car that crashed was from Florida and the driver's name is Curian aka Curian racing with the red 1st gen...

 

^ true, you can see Curian in the pic.

 

Yes Rotaryboyz it's the same car that was up at the dyno meet. That's the same owner also that was there. Cool guy got to speak with him for a quick minute.

 

It has the same wheels, tires, front removable nose, same bump next to the TII scoop, same engine configuration, radiator, fuel tank, fuel lines are routed the same at the tank, same dual blow off valve in red, rear spoiler, but the rear spoiler doesn't have the decals. Although it could of been put on for the race. Sponsers and such... Its the same car too many things that are the same.

Heres the videos of the Dyno in New Haven, CT.

There's Curian in the third video at the meet next to his car.

 

Picture of the front spoiler looks the same, except the mazda symbol, but that could of came off in the crash. The only thing I see is the tie wraps on the front bar and the strut tower looks different looks like original second gen strut towers, I dunno. If it s not the car, than its an exact replica.

 

it sure do look the same, it probably is... sucks to see this happen to a brand new car

 

Well we lost another second here in Florida wednesday night.
The green 'modified' 2nd gen rx7 owned by Ortiz racing had a crash resulting in the total loss of the car. He's ok but the car is not.

 

this were nice cars...

 

Are you kidding me, that sucks. These cars were really nice. Alot of attention to details. Look at the rotor housings!

 

Wow sucks about Ortiz, that was also a sweet car.... I was told that the white 3/4 chassis (Becan?) 2nd gen with a nitrous fed 20b also crashed in Florida.. All of these cars are so immaculate, with great attention to detail..

 

I just got news...Red from Elm Street Imports has a member who knows the guy. The owner lives in Hartford and he bought the car from Florida. He is now looking for an 86 Rx-7 body please spread the news. He wants to have the car ready for the Pan-ams. So help a brother out hes going to represent USA. Post up leads here...
