Australian rotors knock on the door of the US and PR...

There are 2 massive meetings this weekend with rotors galore!

Early news is that the RotorMaster FD ran a 7.88 @ 172 off the trailer! This is the same car that was mentioned a few weeks ago running 8.02 its first time out. Its next pass it broke the diff

The FD of Mazfix also was also running some decent numbers. Its first pass it pulled the wheels off the ground and ran a 1.16 60ft and then backed off to check his undies I think! :p His next pass was a 7.92 @ 169.

Both the RotorMaster and Mazfix cars are running 20Bs backed by gforce and liberty airshifted box respectively.

Also making BIG news is the RX3 from Pac Racing. Of the trailer it ran an 8.02 @ 172! This car used to be the workshop car of Pac and ran a best of 8.43. The car is now a customers car and is running a 20B twin turbo, but details are sketchy. Pac are close to completing their MX6 based drag car. Full chassis and carbon fibre body with a 20B and sirshift transmission, the car will be a certain 7 second contender...

One meet only has racing today but the other has racing tomorrow so hopefully we will see some more 7 second passes!!

I know we are still a ways off, but we are catching you guys!! Will update as details come to hand...

it was autoworld that had that rail car. the car was from portland oregon. As i've said before, rail cars are the future of drag racing... i'll bet the first 5 sec import is a rail.

Siguel is the fastest rotor in the world, thats a hell of a title. I wasn't comparing the rail to Siguel, I was comparing the times being run. Lighten up!

Foxx - Yeah the 4, 6 and rotor nats are on in Adelaide and the Pac Party time nationals are on at heathcote today as well.
