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?

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.
