psca racing is pretty sweet
titan motorsports is planning to run against the pro mods next year
i saw abel out there in vegas, wasnt a good weekend blew 3 motors
2 in the pits and 1 in the burn out
abel is real good but he needs to get his stuff straight
its probally hard now since no sponsers
remeber titan sells alot of parts to go racing but abel just has a shop and a couple of small sponsers
it would be nice to see a 3 rotor qualify #3 or 4 with the v8s

Those puerto ricans have to much money to throw away.Some of us west coast racers have no tracks to race on and taxed by everything,gas,property,freaking even the freaking smog tests.


My freind was overthere this past Week in PR and he says there is noting but race cars being built on their back

yards and nothing but wrenching on their cars 24-7 and racing 3 times a week.We over here race about 3

times a year.No wonder abel is suffering right now,no track time means no testntune.

WHAT AN EASY PR LIFE.

Rotorholic got out of LA just in time.He also has an easy life.
