Rotores vs Pistones 01/26/13

Last week I had to rush home to PR due to a death in the family. A day after the sad event was over I found out that a big event was happening Saturday at the Salinas Speedway. My thoughts were, I'm here, there is nothing more I can do, I should go and relax my mind. Below are some crappy cellphone pics and videos. The final was between Carlos Racing (3 rotor) and Lazcano/Oso performance "El humilde" (the humble one)...El humilde won with a 6.89 vs a 7.00 from Carlos racing.

It was a crazy event, it was as if 7's were 10's, everybody and their mother was running them and people weren't that amused by them...crazy.

Enjoy

Chris

The yellow Rx-8 is New Derek which is 12A powered...well into the 7's. Quite a feat IMO.

They do not. They run on pure Methanol which has so much of a cooling effect that running an intercooler becomes a drag on airflow. I've even seen several people not run intercoolers when running on E-85.

they are boosting 40+ psi...you have to be there to truly experience the feeling of a 1000whp+ 13b

No they don't but as of right now there's a team making changes on their setup and they are going to run an intercooler, if it works out you,ll see a lot of teams using it too.
