Correction... Source: agracingphoto.com, Angel Gauntier.... called me last night....
Said that Siguel broke the transmission.... and Major League made two passes.... both 60ft 1.09 and 1.07.... with "tire shake" problems.

I had a very interesting conversation today with someone in PR.... He's trying to get Siguel to bring the Rx7 to Etown in October for the last big event of the year... I guess we'll know for sure as the time gets closer, so keep those fingers (or legs)crossed
BTW this event is supposed to end the year off with a bang... Guess time will tell


Mods could you please move this over to the "drag racing" section where it might recieve more feedback... Thank you

^ Grasshopper what do you mean??? From what I understand, the car was put on the side because of the 13b program..... The last few years the 13B 3/4 chassis class has been very hot, so I guess all the time & effort was put into cars like Anais & Nayelis... The 20b cars in Australia are setting the pace right now with their consistancy and low ET so maybe the PR boys wanna join in the fun.... Even though Flaco holds the 20b record, PAC performance has proven their reliability and consistancy time and time again... I have a very good feeling that Flaco ET record will get smashed in '09, but I guess we'll have to wait to see... His 209 is a tall order to beat, but a few years ago we thought a 6.99 was impossible with a 13b and we all knew how that turned out

Besides Abel, what's the MPH record for a 13B or 20B?

208 mph is BIG.
