Thanks, sorry for the delayed responses. I am a week behind schedule for my test and tune but will be out this thursday for 1/8th mile testing with vids and pics of the new paint/setup. I just finished installing the last Lexan window and she's ready to go. Man she's purty. Stay tuned.

Just got back from 1/8th mile testing with good results. Track was hotter than a mother! My best time was a 7.58 with a PB 60ft of 1.46. New rearend with lightened spool is hooking pretty good. I was not ready on the first run and the car lifted the wheels like 2+ft and I lifted because it scared me. Got some pretty good video but am too tired to edit. I'll post some vids tomorrow. Meanwhile enjoy some pics. I was the only rotary racing and got most of the grandstands giving thumbs up.

^ Thanks guys. Here's a quick vid. I was on a really good run and the third gear syncro did not like me and still ran a 7.6. I don't know why but when I take pictures or video the true color of the car doesn't come out?

Thanks guys, here's a couple other runs that night. The first run was when the car hooked really hard and I let out. I was still shaking from that and forgot to shift, hence the rev limiter. LOl I'm thinking now how high I would have gone if I stayed in it! She came up eh?

Thanks for the compliments guys. Even though I was the only rotary at the track, there was alot of people in the stands giving thumbs up and people that came up to me that really liked the car. So we need more rotary racers out there hittin the tracks, especially on the West coast. Lets get out there men.

Ito, I don't know why you think I am "making fun of Puerto Ricans" I do nothing but support and give nice compliments to and about them. If you don't think so, just do a search on my responses. Is it because I'm white and I'm not allowed to hold my finger up in a picture? I have the quickest 12abp all motor stock chassis on the west coast and I don't even know if there are any as quick on the east coast. So yeah, I'm proud of my accomplishments. I just got a new paintjob and new rearend and just cut my best 60ft, so yeah, I'm feeling like #1. I'm going for Padilla's record next, so mark my words, I'm going to die trying to do it. I may and I may not do it but you can count on one thing like I told you fellers before, when I start after something, I finish it. If you or anyone else is offended by my picture, all I can say is that was not my intention and I appologize.
