Hey now, I still feel like a young buck BUT do agree we all need to get out there and race again or begin racing for others.

That was the good old days street racing at Stadium Way up at Dodger Stadium. Don't feel bad you were not the only street racer to fall victim to Jose's RX3. I actually remember getting into lots of trouble because some people could not accept a well tuned street port motor could smoke a Bridge motor.

Can't wait to see you guys race your turbo cars? When and where?

Albert
Ok let me start off by saying no i never built a motor for a silver Rx7 and not for Sean. Sean was from FAST FORWARD built by Richard who i still see and is a cool racer that i seen last week. I can sit here and talk about all of you that became victims of my cars but im not going there but if you guys want to reply bring it! The only car to this date that gave us a hell of a race was Henry Hu R100 motor to motor his car was lighter but some awesome racing had to race 3 to 4 times thats how close it was. To all fellow friends and racers i enjoyed doing this since the early 80'S hopefully our kids can continue with what we started.
