Got some vid of Abel running last night at Irwindale. Pulled out a sick pass at 4.7 @ only 118mph. Good launch, good first, second, and partial third. Looks like he's ready for Pomona. Can't wait to see him run the 1/4. Good luck Abel.

i wonder if that was a team effort that got the car down the track

 

Man I should kick myself for missing it. I will definately be at Pomona on the 20 and 21st. SoCal definately has some if not the fastest rotaries out there. LOL

 

4.7 @ 118 Talk about letting off. They need to get that thing down the 1/4 mile.

 

Well, Irwindale is really the only dragstip you can practice at here in Orange County and it is only a 1/8 mile stip. We'll see how he does in Pomona.

 

abel hasnt had a full pass in along time, i remember when he 1st brought that car out at cal speedway he was yelling at his k-n crew, and went like 30mph down the track

 

sweet

 

Slowly but surely he will be back in action. I seriously thought he had gave up already but he has been working very hard.

 

i hope the ford dealership he works at is paying him well

 

nice

 

what's your point ? He's not allowed to have a "real job" ?

 

he didnt before, all he did was work at his shop, no cash from k-n anymore. He needs to get a crew together to help him

 

Dude I dont know who told you he works at a Ford Dealership!!!! Because you are totally wrong. He built his R100 and 3rd Gen FD with money out of his own pocket without any sponsors, and that is alot of CHIPS. He doesnt have the funding he did before but he gets by.

By the way I just got a call a few minutes ago and Abel is at Irwindale Speedway tonight LOL

 

have you guys seen the video of him starting the his new car?

that thing is mean

 

dude i dont no where u have been but he has worked at ford for awhile, and this was after he lost sponsership with k-n. just get a crew thats knowledgeable about rotories this time

 

And what does he do at FORD?

 

The fact that he does makes it all the more impressive.
