He did not break his record, however he was able to match it; meaning it wasn't a fluke (or a suicidal run).

7.625 @173.72





On other notes, Brent Rau just did a 6.976 @ 198.29 on the same category

 

Brent's car is the white 4cyl Mitsu?

 

Yes it is, but heard that something about his car was ilegal for that category.

 

its actually a PRO RWD type tube chassis with the fire wall and strut tower put back in, thats why it was ban by the NHRA for there modify class....running 6's with a 4cyl isnt easy, congrats to him....

 

Yep either way

even if brent was running in the Full chassis class

Thats one hell of a feat

6.9 with a 4 cyl
is crazy!

Major Props to Dee also

on a side note
I had a update thread going on reactive racing
and it got deleted..why?

 

Yup none the less, it is the first 4 cyl import engine to break the 6 sec barrier, not an easy task

BTW - Thanks for the info on his chassis!

 

I looked for it briefly, and didn't find your thread, so I went ahead and posted an update

 

I have been so busy traveling and working on the car i have not had time to respond to any of the congrats posts.

I have only one thing to say thank you!!! It is great to see that forum members are excited with the progress we have been making, posts like this make it all worth it as we due what we due for the love of the sport and peer recoginition is what keeps us trying so hard. We are very pleased with our first full season and look forward to next year.

We will be closing out the year at the nhra finals this weekend in Pamona California. And the Reactive Racing RX7 will be on display at SEMA this year in the Powertrain Control Solutions booth.

Thanks Again
Dee

 

 

congrats dee on the great time. i still wanna see u have a match against la sarita from pr good luck in cali and hope u could take out justin over there also

 

Hey Dee!
Don't forget to pack some extra pilot bearings and the removal tool also!
Anyhow congrats.

 

Congrats Dee. It must be a hell of a car if it can hit those times with you behind the wheel!

 

You are a trip Crispeed!! Don't laugh but as soon as i got home i put 5 bearings in the trailer I can't believe nopi is not coming to bradenton next year that track was prepped very well. And whover from florida took this pic of my car you win the best pic of he year award!!!!

 

Congrats, best of luck to you next season as well!

 

WOW! Dee I was at moroso and seen you run a 7.67, thats the fastest unibody RX-7 ,13B I have ever seen, I then wandered over to your trailer and what really shocked me was your spare engine getting ready for assembly, HELL its almost stock inside, rotors slightly moded, 2mm2pc oem seals, mild street porting, no intercooler at all. just lots of air and lots of fuel I guess? HEY I was impressed---- keep it up. rotary engines are incredible. RON

 

Thanks for the compliment! For the record though my car is no longer unibody, it is a 25.1e back-half conversion.

And yes the car is street ported and uses all stock internals including the seals. I have always been a fan of the stock 2mm seal. All of our motors start off as malloy mazda remans. We just basically diassassemble them and port them a little then reassemble.

 

....and then boost them to kingdom come

 

Do you add extra dowel pins to the motor or leave them as is? I have my motor pinned but from information that I have been gathering seems it is unnecessary if you have a good tune. If you don't detonate what will break.

 

My motor is not pinned.

 

That's good to know. And congrats on this weekend winning that Wally hope for continued success in the future.

 

A little event review for you guys!

Dee,
I just read through the 2006 rules for NHRA Modified class and they are allowing the use of a 3 rotor. Do you have any plans on switching to a 3 rotor or are you staying with the 2 rotor?

 

o hes switchin alright!!!!!! LOL
