Jose"Siquel Racing" Torres and his 3 rotor Rx7 run 6.89@197mph

Jose Torres and his 93 Rx7 full tube chassis had a match race against Carlos "Pepeloco" Montano in his new 1996 Mazda Mx6 20B 3 rotor full tube chassis. Pepeloco's Mx6 is a fairly new car and has NOT had enough time at the track to get the bugs out of it. He still manage to run a 7.66 @175 mph against Jose Torres blistering 6.89 @197 mph . I was told over all it was and awesome event and team Puerto Rico won. The 6.89 is Jose "Siquel Racing" Torres best Time up to date with his 3 rotor Rx7.

Today was the team USA vs Team Puerto Rico Pan American Nationals in Puerto Rico.

John, Pepeloco is running a large streetport and methanol. He switched over from vp c16 to methanol.

no. all he has ever ran is streetported engines. He doesn't like P-Ports.

I was just reading that his other runs where 6.90 and 6.95. It's good to hear he's running consistant times.

I hope he comes to moroso next month so he can line up next to this guy. I'll have my handycam ready
