***TIME MACHINE 9.02@153mph***

Today at the 'Pinks All Out' show Papito driving the #1 Time Machine Turbo II ran 9.02@153mph.
Huge congratulations go out to Papito and the Time Machine crew and to Alex from Lopez Racing for burning the midnight oil to make this all happen.
If I'm not mistaken this makes them the quickest 2nd gen on stock suspension and the second quickest rx7 on IRS in the USA!

Well I talk **** about the president also but that does not mean that he does not deserve credit for doing something good. Everyone talks **** about each other but credit is not based on talking **** it's based on results.
You should take this to the florida section where all the 'novelas' exist. That way we can have fun accusing each other of **** and I get to act in my first soap.
Yes I am a two face ****. Thank you and have a nice day.


btw. Nice first post. I sure you'll do a lot for the rest of the community.

Yes he is!

The quickest on IRS I believe is the Scorch Racing/Blitz FD from Japan that ran somewhere in the mid 8's. Adam is the quickest in the USA.

400m is equal to 1312ft.

So they run 8ft less then our standard 1/4 mile. (1320ft)

400 meters = 1312.34 feet, so you may be right. That track also looks like it starts going downhill at mid track

I had the video of the Blitz run, and now I can't find it.

BTW: Congrats on the run, that launch was amazing

Well unless you put all the cars together on the same track at the same time no one will really know what the actual times would be.
There are too many variables. It's not like there are any set rules or official records to be set. It's just a list of all the rx-7 front runners in the world which you should be very proud of to be a member.
From the looks of it you'll probably be on top in the USA soon.

It's actually 7.66ft give or take a little depending on who's holding the measuring tape at either end.
Seriously it's just under 8ft.
