Can someone give me details on the Puerto Rican rules for PRO-RWD racers? Minimum weights, etc..

I posted this in the other forum but, how much did this car weigh? Also, I understand this was done at a closed track test, or that it was run like at 2:00am in the morning, or something like that, is this true? Was this a single run with no back-up or certification beyond the lights up on the board? These are all very serious and sincere questions, as I'm not familiar with the PR drag scene and records.

Not trying to take away anything from the accomplishment, just trying to get some knowledge!

Congrats to the boys!

Thanks,

-Bern

It was on Wednesday (3-16-05), on egular race night @ Salinas Speedway, Sporty did not had a match that night, so you can call the pass a "Test" pass, the same goes for Quiles new setup, and his 7.5 @ 180MPH, and 3 other cars that broke their own personal record that night.

Thanks guys! Will any of these guys be making there way up to any of the NHRA rounds? I'd love to see them run at the big show, to show the piston boys what's up!!! It's tough to only have one top class Rotary running in PRO-RWD here.

Cheers,

I don't know about the Pro-RWD racer, however the guys running 3/4 chassis cars, WILL race on the east coast NHRA events; I believe the will fall under the modified category. So far, there are 5 3/4 chassis cars confirmed for the:

Fourth annual
Northeast NHRA Sport Compact Nationals
Atco Raceway, Atco, N.J.
May 14-15
