Forking Haters!!!!

A repeat win by Jesus Padilla highlighted the All Motor Class action. Padilla campaigns a controversial '85 RX-7 that qualified first with a 10.638@126 with the benefit of a 3-rotor engine that is legal by current NHRA rules. The argument by competitors such as the Skunk2 team and others is an inordinate amount of displacement advantage when compared to the allowed piston motors.

History lesson!!!


Delirium's Datsun was once the world's quickest 12a and after crashing it several years ago, he purchased Pepe Loco's Datsun and also crashed that a short while after..
Delirium aka Boris Rojas is the same guy that drives the B2200 "Sakura" pickup, Brown 1st gen & the new Blue 2nd gen (not the one that crashed)

Yea here's the video of El Bacan's crash...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBvm6Oj26x4


Check out this IDRC race from '99... Adam broke what looks like the gearbox and there's also video of the Ford focus than came from England to race... I think thats the same focus was driven by Nelson Hoyos a year later?
Just imagine we had guys bring over there cars from PR, England, Trinidad etc to race with the best of the best back in the early days... Now we can't even get local guys to come out and race
