"Bam Bam" Mazda Miata full chassis,full fiberglass body, tipped the scales at 1575lbs with the owner Alberto Vivo inside the car. best E.T. on this car is 9.6 ALL MOTOR and 8.55 with nitrous oxide. Mazda Second gen. Rx7 "Partytime" from, owner Joe Perez is a full chassis,full fiberglass body. weight was 1700lbs with the driver in the car and ran a best Elapse time of 9.5 ALL MOTOR and 8.9 with nitrous oxide then he made the car turbo. Datsun 1200 full chassis known as "Switche Racing" was owned by Hector "Switche" Gonzales. This car was tiping the scales at 1675lbs with him inside the car. Ran a best E.T. of 9.2 with nitrous oxide.

Right now the fastest all motor weve had was, Joe Perez's Rx7 "Partytime" at 9.5 and the fastest N/A with nitrous oxide we have in the rotary community is a Mazda Rx7 full chassis full fiberglass car out of Puerto Rico and ran a best time of 8.47 @155 mph.

All these cars used Peri Engines.<------- Peripheral port engines.

Just curious (not that it counts for anything) but how many times have Flaco and Rafaelito faced each other?

I remember seeing a video about 4 years ago (might not have even been recent at the time) of Rafaelito in his FC racing Abel in his older 3rd Gen (the mint green / white / purple car)... both 13B's... Rafaelito won that specific matchup, both were in the 7's.

Anyone have it? I want to see it again!!

Bro,

My car have been all over the place, but I believe it was purchased on Texas (brand new) and then sold on VA. Since I had the car, it has been on VA, MD, NY, PR, and back to MD, VA

Hey there lads..
Leave the Abel vs. Falito debate for another day! This thread was meant to congratulate Falito on the new PB time!! Congrats to him!
The rotary drag racing scene is getting bigger here in Aus with a few cars in the build to run 7's!! The new drag strip being built in Syndey will be finished soon which will allow for more events and more exposure for the sport compact classes!

The NA+NOS competiton in PR is just amazing!! running mid 8's!! cool!

Judge....do you still have a website with customer cars?
