Happy to see Abel finally break into the 6 s club! Anyone who knows the 60ft and 1/8 mile time on that run?

Congrats to Abel....
 
Abel needs to catch up to the Solaras and now the AEM car......Solaras and AEM car running 6.7's @ 206-207 mph !!!!!
Again something broke on one of the rounds for Abel.

Can't belive how fast they're all running.....

where the hell has siquel been hiding??

Elegant Black Monster 10-19-03 10:08 PM

Hes in Puerto Rico last I heard and I don't think Siguel's time was official. Flaco's is official, and I'm damn proud. Anyone have a vid or pics of that run?

AJC13B 10-20-03 05:36 AM

Offical or not, Siguel has the title to the enthusiasts...

Bluem 10-25-03 06:10 PM

siguels time was official at rotores vs. pistones at salinas speedway

kabooski 10-25-03 07:00 PM

I like siguel
but in PR they run way less wieght then NHRA rules

Siguel came to the states and could not back up his runs in PR

While we can have a discussion as to Flaco or Siguel being the top dog, I want to congratulate BOTH for putting rotary powered vehicles in the 6-second zone and just about to break the 200 mph zone. They are BOTH official as they had their runs in sanctioned racetracks and had a backup run to confirm them. It is very difficult to compare both vehicles: take into consideration budgets, different setups (weather), track conditions, etc. and I have recently notice a change in the body of Flaco's vehicle (looks longer) and I am not sure if that has affected the wheel base or the aerodynamics of his vehicle, and that can be favorable to his performance. In all, congrats to BOTH

Yes!
Flaco extended the front nose section. It was done for aerodynamics from the looks of it. When I first saw it I had to take a second look because it was very obvious that the body looked different.

i cant wait till them solara's GO DOWN!!! by the power of the non piston...hahahaha....If they can run v-6 and v-8 why cant we run the 20b power

turbostreetfighter 11-16-03 08:15 PM
