Joe Rapalo 5.44 @ 125 license pass
 

Joe and the crew went to Irwindale to complete his last pass for his license only to find out that all 5 other passes from Fontana were no good because they didn't fill out the information and sign properly. So today we made 5 passes and on the last pass Joe ran 5.44 @125 on low boost taking it easy. Car has a low 5 in it. Hopefully he will be able to make the Pomona 1/4 mile race with me and others. Good job Joe, congrats. Here's the video.

nice pass joe hope that gets rene going ..

i was there with the crew......yeah its tempting.....we had fun too.

Congrats to the whole team

Awesome! Specs on the car/chassis?

Congrats!! Its gonna be a beast when you crank it up!!

Hey joe are you going to race at Pomona

you should take your car there Eric.......Santos,Joe,Jay and i think Chris with his back half black Rx2 is going.....gonna go spectate.Pump up Albert to go too....

My car is not built yet I am building a street turbo car, my son has a all motor car but he need axels

Eric, you need to swap rear ends. Those stock axles will not work on an all motor car with slicks. Been there done that.

Yea jay I know that but it's his car he does not want to spend the money for it

but you can borrow the rear end off the car for 1 event and then you probably do a real good pass down the track.I think your son is not interested in racing....he should of been out there looking for axles to race.

I have a killer 9 inch rear-end that will bolt in the rx7, even have the drive shaft. sent Eric the specs....

Yea this race means nothing to him he is interested in the import events heads up street all motor class. And who will let him borrow a rear end I'm down for it . Also you have to rember he is young and have other things he likes doing like playing with his turbo charge wrx

Well Rene why are you not bringing one of your cars

here let me answer it for him " theres no $ in it" :lol:

eric buy rene's rx-7 is already to go racing

I had a all motor car I sold mine I want to try to go turbo

yup its no money involved......just for fun.Lots of money on Races cars for a time slip and pride.

A Turbo car is two to three times the cost to run vs an all motor. And your gearing in the trans and reared is going to be off. Eric you should just throw the 12 bolt in your sons car and race it at Pomona. Should be an easy swap.

It's a lot of fun to just go out and hang with friends and family. It ain't about the money

thats what i said jay just swap rear ends for a race event.....4 bolts on 4 link and brake lines.Its about a 45min swap.

Oh, yeah, what Rene said. lol

well you jay and rene my rear end in my turbo car is 430 thats not going to work rene you need put intrest in getting your car running. and i do like hanging out but all of the mazdas guys never try to help each other. the honda guys help each other and race each other maybe oneday the mazdas guys can get that level. my son will do what he wants to do with his car no one is going to help him with anything anyway this thread is me asking joe is he going to race

That's BS Eric. You can ask everyone, I have offered to help anyone wether it be wrenching, etc. I know Albert has offered to help you tune etc and you declined. Rene, Albert, Mel, Joe and countless other rotary guys have helped me. The problem with a lot of people is that they have Too much pride and Think They can do it all on their own or they just don't do what others tell them to do, like put your 12 bolt in your sons car. We are just trying To help you get a car to Pomona so we can get all the rotary guys out there to represent. Who cares who's the fastest, let's just go out to have some fun.
