First thing he told Rafael, the owner of pistonvsrotor.com was: "Hi Rafy, your talking to el ROTOR MAYOR.. translation... numero 1 in the world. Funny to hear that, when I associate the words el ROTOR MAYOR with one of the puerto rican legends. Rafael "Falito Racing" Rivera.. he was the champ for many years, but he fell off a little. now the tittle has shifted.. congrats to eddie colon and his team..

If he said his car Hp is 980Whp,it means that it only weighs 1700lbs with driver for him to run 6.97@195mph.?

The pass was at 197mph, based on Brent Raus ETs and MPH; I would think Sportys car is some what heavier than 1700lbs (or NHRA legal)

A little birdie told me after tommorow's test-n-tune that 'Falito's car is going to lay down some impressive times if everything goes well.

Oso the PR Phil Laird....lol

Well Oso is doing the tuning this season so its very possible that we'll see the car perform better from now on. Falito is a old skool guy and EFI may be a new experience for him ,so I guess thats the reason Oso came on board to help him sort it out. Wish them lots of luck

He was also saying in his interview that they did some suspension work to help lower his et's plus Oso is driving so that should help. Both him and Pica's RX-8 are running tonight at Salinas. Can't wait to see how they run.
