About the siguel racing, I just called IDRC and they said that Siguel Racing was not one of the racers this weekend at the Finals. Unless he went 6.98 in Puerto Rico or at some other event then the rumor is not true. The Escort 300zx ran a 7.3@180mph which is a record for IDRC. NIRA did not hold a race this weekend. I am gonna check the puerto rico tracks also and find out if he ran 6.98 but it looks like the first 6 second door slammer import is still not aquired yet. I will also call Siguel Racings shop in puerto rico to find out. The car is still the **** though

 

if every read what i put later, you understand. i didn't put that siguel broke into the 6, i just trying to say if is was true or not. i didn't say that he did it. thanks to understand me. it was an understanding.

 

entiendo muchacho! I was just saying that the 6.98 run that someone stated that he ran was not done in IDRC or NIRA. Jose could have possibly made that run but it wont be in the import drag racing record books until he does the 6 second run in a sanctionated import drag racing event and then he has to pass the scales. I hope to see him run the first 6 sec. That gives us rotorheads mucho braging rights

 

I checked on www.puertoricodragracing.com and no hay ni una sola noticia de un Siguel y un 6 seg......hehehe. No really I couldn't find any info, so I guess its not tru....YET!!!

I'll call my friends later on this week and see if I can find some relevant info!

KNO

 

yo espero que sea verdad. i would like to se an import to run the 6, especialmente un ROTATIVO(specialy a rotary engine).:1party:
and thanks for understand, mi amigo.

 

Escort 300zx?

tu estas avlando de lascanzo 300zx?
the guy who owned the red 85 300zx right...

 

No, Es un 300zx rojo (90-96 body style) de japan. Bien Rapido!!! 7.3 segs@180 mph la semana pasada en cali. Buscarando para fotos ahora

 

si lo estaba viendo hoy en espn. estaba corriendo con abel ibarra.

 

Don't forget Lazcano's new 300zx which did a 7.50 in Atco....brand new car!!

 

Lascanos car ran a best of 7.4 now

 

Thanks for the info....2002 will be full of 6 sec cars. BTW - I just heard that Quiles (remember the silver 3/4 chassis starlet, with a best of 7.9X) has a new car coming soon!!!!

 

Yup, they are building a full chassis 3rd gen with 3 rotors!!! I cant wait till next season. There will be alot of racers de puerto rico running their new cars. Pimar is going to a turbo engine(he ran 9.0 off turbo) and the starion should be making some dope horsepower. 6 seconds is a definate for next year Jose de siguel racing will be the one to do it first.i think that Jose will do it the first race of the year. The rotary will dominate next year as it does every year. Lascano will be beefing up his turbo system next year, and watch out for the old BAM BAM car, next year he will be running a Pported T-72 alcohol engine (rumor) Note: Bam Bam went 8s with No TURBO!!! CHRIS TELL US SOMETHING IF YOU ARE BACK FROM CALI?

 

I got an email from Rabule from Piston VS Rotor and he said its not true

 

Sorry this isn't about the rotary drag cars but... Does anyone have any idea what Sakura is up to? Last I heard of him was like a year ago in Turbo Magazine that he set a world record (not anymore though) for imports. Is he totally redoing his car or is it just that he is running and hasn't brought it to the US for awhile? Any info would be appreciated.

 

Sakura was here in new jersey last summer. Rumor has it that Sakura plans on being the first into the 6 second range. I heard that they are trying some different turbo setups and some head porting combinations. Who knows PR will dominate as usual

 

Sakura who?!?!?! No seriously last I heard (about 6-8 months ago) they install a new cylinder head....since then the car has been definitely a different car....for the worst!!

He beat Rafaelito 2 weeks ago in a "friendly match" @ a local raceway in PR

 

I was at the saturday race (IDRC) and the best runs were the japanese 300Z and the twin turbo V8 Lexus SC300 (7.60 i think, also came from Japan. XS, CRISPEED, Abel ibarra, SR, and other rotary cars did pretty goood. I was amazed on how many rotary vehicle showed up!.. I have alot of videos but dont know how to show it over the net. If anyone can help me with my digital cam corder i will show some videos. Pls email me at FCTURBO2@hotmail.com with some help hooking up my digital camcorder.

 

This is the escort racing 300zx I was talking about, He ran a 7.38@184 mph!!

 

Hey Greg!
Actually the Escort 300zx was not the one that ran 7.38 that weekend. It was the Blast twin turbo 300SC Lexus. They did that on their license run which BTW. was for their advanced 7.50 and quicker licence. This car have ran in the 6's at home in japan.

crispeed
87TII
9.20@150mph

 

Is it a v8 Turbo or a NA? I saw that craig paisley is gonna use a v8 NA next year in his truck.

 

OK Here is the LEXUS

 

It's a twin turbocharged V-8 lexus motor!
