Getting there. Only a matter of time.
One thing though something broke on that run.
Easy repair and should have it replaced for the next run.
You can tell clearly on the video what happened!

Thats a sign of things heading in the right direction. The last car to lose a front park light bulb went on to set a new record. Lets see if you kids can figure it out.

NO PROS please..

Rafalito's rx8 just ran its best 60ft... 1.03 60' - 2.92 330' ... that looks like 7.1's or maybe even 7.0's increments there.. Amazing times from only a few passes with Oso tuning & driving

You see, its pays to live by a corner house as usual you Floridians get the news straight from PR before it hits the rest of the country.

BTW, I sent you a PM a few weeks ago concerning a motor for my rx3 but you never replied. I'm looking into building a 13bBP EFI NA for supermarket trips, any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Florida? That's further up north. Here is south of the border. Once you cross the border at hialeah then you see Florida!
Pm again!

Hey better to be south of the border than to be in a board house with 6 kids & a muddy yard full of old car

its a shame he couldnt continue the run. or other wise it would have been a really good run. Rafaelito told a friend of mine, that the turbo seized up on that run. turbo got destroyed, but they already ordered a new one, and will be testing very soon.
