from what I understand and I could be mistaken. But nhra changed the rules this year for all motor and really fucked it up for the rotary engine people. Someone will chime in I'm sure.

Point!!!



F...ing money can't even cover the fuel expense for the season. You can win more money doing local bracket racing at 1/8mile tracks here. I have friends that get more that that just in contingency money at one race. What a shame!
Then they still wonder why the stands are empty at most events this year even the venues that are normally filled with people. Who the hell wants to see million dollar backed corperate cars that the basic you and me person could never afford or even dream of having. That's not what import drag racing is about or was based on. I guess they didn't take notice of the effect the cars from PR had on the turnout at the last couple of venues they competed at last year. Ever wondered why the tracks at PR are filled to capacity for every major event? **** even a regular test-n-tune night in PR would rival any major event that NHRA could put on!

The best times i have had going to the track was sponsering Carlos Gonzalas in Texas at the 2002 nhra event. Meeting Jesus pedilla, Ken Sheppers, and the rest of the really cool racers, we all went to dinner and had a blast. I really miss seeing Carlos every year and the enthusisam he had. The raceing has turnned into the side show while hip hop and **** and *** are the main attraction! Sorry i just miss the good times!

Well the way I see it you have two choices.
You can move to the deep south here Florida or choose one of the Tri 'Rotary' states up north!
Fun times are only a weekend away here.
Let's see for example we had domestics vs imports at one track last weekend. Tommorow Sunday we have the same race at another track. Next month is mechanic vs mechanic and tuner vs tuner at the same track. Let the fun times begin like it used to be.

Maybe after some obligations are taken care of here, Fla. sounds good and i hate cold weather. I have some friends in Orlando and Ocala! Carlos has a beauitful new car but no money to finish it and racing doesnt pay unless GMC or other corperate sponsers are given it up.

actually oky traded his car for a boat ,so he is out of racing and a car for good but the word on the street is that he burned a **** load of people including a big company that sells rotary parts out of washington thats why he was out of money regardless of that he was a great competitor and we have had a bunch of good times

I hate to hear that the last time i called him he was really down. He always did me right and there are deals that sometimes dont go well, there were some that made promises that never came through. I need to check on him and see how the shark fishing is going! This may not be politically correct but i have always enjoyed spending time with my Portorican friends you always know were you stand and they know how to have fun!!

When i got my car tuned in Orlando i was really looking forward taking in some REAL import drag racing. My boss calls me up on Friday night and tells me if i don't show up on Monday i shouldn't come back at all . I missed the chance to go to the races but all in all it was the best trip i had ever taken. I met some of the most interesting and nicest people that week and if i were single i would have already moved there.


Texas (at least where i am) is a far cry from a "rotary" state. The last time i took my car to the track i was setting in tech and a guy rode up on a bike. He looks at the car and smiles. He nods his head as a sign of approval and i think to myself, maybe he actually knows what it is. With great enthusiasm he exclaims "Alfa Romeo" .

NHRA 'All Motor' rules update!

Rule update for the 'all motor' class.

Page 40 (eff 01/01/08)

Minimum Weights: Replace “150 pounds” with “100 pounds” for Sequential, clutchless, V-gate or non-OEM aftermarket transmissions

A lousy 50lb weight break. Just going to make the FWD's quicker.
