After a couple shaky seasons and skeptical rule changes, it looks like the rotary dominance is set to reemerge for at least a couple classes in 2004.

I was there and I congratulate Jesus Padilla. He did an awesome job driving the car.

congrats to his microtech tunner. Rolo... considering Jesus and Rolo have no corporate sponsors(like his competitors) they are doing an awesome job. Mazda corp. needs to pay closer attention to Jesus Padilla. and give him a hand.

Awesome!! tunning work Rolo on Kilo's car
You told me he was going to be qucik this year due to the 1/8 runs at lakeland

But WOW 9.92!
keep it up and bring the Trophy home to florida!

Just to let you all know Kilo (jesus padilla) was running 10.5-10.6's on a geneberg weber before Rolo switched the car to F.I and MicroTech
and now the car is hauling major ***

Hey guys hmm I just saved Kilo some headache

I noticed the points standings was updated
5/5/04 but the NHRA had posted he was 3rd in points

I found that to be wierd since he won 2 events
set records at both events and should of have taken the lead in the points standing

well I emailed them and they was pretty quick to get to me and said I was right and they would fix the incorrect data..could of been just a oversight on there part by putting the updated date but not the updated DATA

eitherway

good to see the NHRA top guy is quick to respond
makes me have faith in there series

thumps up to NHRA!

Hmmm, I wonder if the Honda's get back on top if they'll make that same "oversight"

Honestly, I dont believe it for one second
