Australian FD goes 7.88 @ 170
 

THe Mazfix prepped FD ran a 7.92 @ 171mph in qualifying at a Nationals meet at Willowbank raceway in Queensland on Friday and then backed it up on Saturday with a 7.88 @ 170mph.

The car runs a 20B with mechanical injection and a Microtech ECU for ignition duties. The car runs an air shifted liberty box as well.

Still a ways to go to catch Siguel, but we are getting closer :D

Congrats to Archie and the boys.

Here is the timeslip for the 7.92:

Reaction 0.704
60' 1.251
330' 3.336
660' 5.097
660'mph 139.32
1000' 6.626
ET 7.929
MPH 171.95

Hmmmm, the RT is .7, I was just lookin at the top drag times thread and two people w/ 9's had RT's in the .4's
Is it just harder for a car that powerful?

but anyways yes, thats awesome :-D
Do you know if they're expecting any better times?

R/T of .7 means the driver is sleeping!
R/T of .4 means REDLIGHT!

.400 is a perfect reaction on a pro tree.
.500 is perfect for sportsman tree.

Oh yeah, duh, forgot about the Pro tree. I can't remember the last time I saw one used, all I could think was the .500 tree

and I've cut a .499 and a .498 before :( )

Yes another one in the 7's nice!!!!!!

This car also runs full interior and electric windows etc as well, so its not a fully stripped out drag car as such.

Well done Archie

Damo

Thats my favorite car ever. The Video of him running 8.2 is the best video of a drag racing rx7 and everything. His Car sounds sooo nice

I want to see the video

I am certain the car will keep getting quicker. Like Coffin said, it is not a stripped out car, yet :D

The reaction means little to overall ET, though the 60ft could be considered a little slow.

I am not sure but I don't think this car is on the bottle either... :D :D

All out rotary madness
 

Man I would love to see USA vs Australia vs Puerto Rico all out 4 cil. and Rotary drag race madness event. Something like a good week of drag racing, man that would be a nice overdoze of import drag racing. After that we could all go home with the biggest cheeseeee smile on our face.:D I could imagine some record breaking E.T.'s Something like USA feeling the Australian pressure, USA comes back and puts the pressure on P.R. but Falito Racing rx7 puts the pressure back on Australia, man is nice to have imagination!!:cool:

fairly ignorant question i know, but what exactly IS the fastest rotary on Earth? Who owns it? I assume it is some Puerto Rican monstrosity or something.....

i went for a drive in a 9 second RX3, and that was insane enough for me!
was like an F16 without wings.

7.37 Siguel Racing (Jose Torres from PR). Next year the rotary will be the first into the 6 second zone;)

Re: All out rotary madness
 

Thats a good Idea. Maybe someone should try setting something like this up in a couple years.

Ithink there was some funny gas in the video I saw. You guys also forgot to mention that the car is running 7s on a backhalf!!!!!! Not 3/4ths not 7/8th!! Thats a great time for what the car is. I wanna see his engine setup in a Completely tube frame setup. Any news from Dalton, any new info on his car? When are you Aussie fellas gonna come over here and race with us. We need a competitive pro and outlaw class. The scarey thing is that if mazfix keeps running consistant 7s then they would come over here and fit into the outlaw class. Outlaw class is not ready for a 7 second car yet. It would be a breeze for them to take home the championship.

That would be cool, but for a 3-rotor to compete in the outlaw class the only problem would be the weight penalty. Depending on sanctioning body and power adders etc. a 3-rotor in the outlaw class would have to weigh 2700 to 3000lbs at minimum. Most of the rules in the outlaw class now favor the full tube frame FWD's. There's even one sanctioning body this year that don't allow more than one power adder for RWD's in the outlaw class but the FWD's can run two and weigh 1500lbs.

The Dalton 3rd Gen will be debuted at the 4, 6 and rotor nationals held in Adelaide on the 15th, 16th and 17th of February.

I will actually start a new thread on up and coming drag cars from Australia....

Nice, you should recomend to those guys to come to the USA as a team like the boriquas do and race with us for a few months. Can you post a link to daltons site.

The cost to get a car and crew over is massive.

There were rumours flying around that at the upcoming 4, 6 and rotor nationals, the organisers wer trying to get Siguel out here. The cost to get the car and crew etc across was $30000AUD! That is a massive cost upfront, but it would 100% lift gate takings thats for sure!! :D

The PR guys seem cashed up to the eyeballs, they should come down here! :D
