yes Rican.. Puerto Ricans come in all shades of color. a diverse culture.. alot of european blood in the island. there is also alot of african heritage in the island.. a rainbow of colors.. a little history 101.. yes they rented the track to try and sort out the chassis.. that Rx8 has been giving Siguel a hands full, for some time..

Is that more than the regular rig setup that you see at the tracks?

Ofcourse not......we have much bigger and badder rigs here, but our guys travel country wide thats the reason they have them. The "turn on" factor is that PR is smaller than CT and the Int'nl RXT is close to 100k fully loaded and it can be driven as a personal vehicle also..

If you think thats serious bling for a small island then how about our own island which is 1/2 the size of PR, but a guy imported a $120K Int'nt CXT and installed a $100k system in it.. The islanders really know about style

I'm curious, but how exactly does in guy from the west coast get this sort of info? Also, why would someone be "scared" to buy those cars?
