Happened with Joe Signorelli in it, same guy that crashed the ex Titan Celica a few months ago
Abel had side port with Twins IIRC... Rotormaster had PP with tripplets

Don't let that Australian fello in the background fool you, that pic was taken in the US and that's the Rx8 not the Rx7... Notice fellow racer Matt Hartford in the pic also, maybe he was talking Flaco into using a set of Total Seal piston rings in the 20b

Yeah, I posted before I took a hard look. You can tell it's not the RX7 from the picture.

everybody seems to think the car is coming back again?.ive been to the rotormaster workshop at the start of this year and didnt see the car at all.i saw a new body they had made for it but dont think they plan to use the body now.the body was pretty wild with alot of mods done to it to suit 34.5 tyres.have some pics but not allowed to show them.joe stated in a interveiw that he would be coming out in a rx8 with a 4 rotor.im only guessing this but i think the k&n rx7 chassis would end up with a rx8 body on it.maybe joe might get a rx8 body from abel?.any way time will tell....i would like to see it come back as the rx7 and think it would be worth fixing it up after the accident even if it took 2 or 3 years to completely rebuild it.

Maybe the hole car from abel.Abel told me a while back that he would sell his R-100 for the right amount of money.

I thought he gave that R100 to the NHRA folks ? Hall of Fame or something ?

To bad.. That Rx7 was very iconic & was known to many fans all over... It would be truly sad to see it rebodied as something else..

The R100 should get back the red paint with "flaco" airbrushed on the door and should be kept in someone's livingroom

Eric you are always 2-3 years behind That car been out of the NHRA hall of fame

Allen bet me $50 that Buscher was going to keep you in Ohio to have you tune all his piston motors

Hey Crispeed do you know Leo Tavarez down there from Homestead he's got a blueish purple rx7? I think he's somehow associated with CLR.
