West Coast representing!

Last night Joe in his rx7 laid down an impressive 5.16 @ 134mph with a 1.1 60 ft! No pistons could come close to rotary power last night. He then backed it up with a 5.17 @ 136. Here's a vid.

That's what I thought too but Joe told me his motor starts to lose power after 8500rpm, hence the short shifts

Chris, this track hooks pretty good. As you can tell the runoff is pretty short so you gotta get on the brakes!
