Hey Kilito, shouldn't it be two rx7's and one Datsun?

Datsun and 13b Rx7 cannot compete with Norris's new car... Kilito's 3 rotor is the good match for the Hondas

Thats what I'm thinking. I'm shooting for the number 1 spot and my dad is too so we will see what happens..
I am driving both cars now. I am getting used to this whole turbo thing. Let me tell you - from a 1.31 to a 1.18 60' might not seem much on paper, but damn it sure as hell is!
COME OUT! I remember the first time I saw all of you ride in like 6 or 7 Rx-7s deep was sick.

ALOT!
Depends on what engine they use. Just go to the event website and check out the rules. It's different for each event holder. In my class the all motor stock chassis. We have to weight 1950lbs. That's with a 13bpp and clutchless trans.
Honda's are allowed to weigh 1750 with full tube chassis. Rear wheel drive cars are not allowed to run tube chassis and have to retain factory floorpan and suspension mounting points. Honda's can pretty much do whatever they want if they cry enough.

That's true Jose, but we're not talking 1000hp here. It's not that hard to get 350hp to the ground. There's only so much power a N/A rotary can make with the parts we have today and guys like Padilla have pretty much tapped that out. After all his 9.8 has stood for how long now? The only way we can compete with these Hondas is to either put weight in their cars or be allowed to take weight out of our cars. Look at the PR all motor cars that are running 9.5's. They are running those numbers because they weigh 1700lbs and have back half car running 1.20 60ft. They're not making any more power than anyone else, look at their trap speeds at only 133mph. It's light weight and gearing getting those numbers.

It's not top secret. We really haven't been to the dyno. My father's car has seen dyno and never reached 400. His car put down 38X and ran 9.80 @ 134.8 weighing at 2000 lbs. My car now weighs 2145 and ran 9.42 @ 139. Trap don't mean much. I'd estimate 450.
Thanks buddy!! We need you back out there!
2 rotor 1650 minimum weight.
3 rotor 2100 minimum weight.
4 cyl 1550, 1650, or 1750 depending the size of the engine.
Rules can be found on the NSCRA website at www.nscra.com
well said, testing and knowing what you are doing.
You can weigh as light at 1550 because you are running pump gas.
THey have allowed us to take weight out, but right now we just don't have the funds for that.

this is drag 7 i have one question how do you get a rx7 down to 1650 with driver because my car has everything out of it and it still weighs 1980 with me in it and i am 175 pounds the only way we are going to be able to do it is with a different car that will not be legal in ca to race in all motor
