Mazda 1st import inducted into NHRA museum
 

Abel Ibarra's (Flaco racing) Mazda R-100 has been inducted into the NHRA motorsports museum. That makes it the 1st import to do so. Another 1st for Mazda in racing history!:)
Check out www.nhraimport.com for more details.

cool, r100's rule!

My understanding, is the he is also the first sport compact car...

Congrats Abel.

Congrats to Abel. I also think that Adam's A&L RX7 belongs there also, it had ALOT to do with the history of import racing.

adam took it to a new level

ran 8's in the street class with his 3rd gen

What you guys don't know is that Adam is ONLY the first that was noticed by sponsers of the "up coming" import scene here in the U.S. While he was doing 10's, people in Japan were going WAY Quicker. He was just at the right place at the right time...plus he's a trader (damm Hondas):D

When was adam doing tens? 1995

i want my r100's back. :(
congrats Abel. ;)

Yeah, thats what I said!:mad:

wow, another reason to be proud to own a rotary.

The only other import I could see going in there, is that white/purple/yellow crx. As it was the first fwd to brake single digits in the us.
