Of all the guys that are posting on here making X amount of power etc, how many of you actually try to make an event? When was the last time you guys were down the track? I'd like to see that kind of info. Too many internet racers out there.....

If a 9 sec timeslip was that easy, everyone would have one. You should be supportive of the ones that are out there running their cars, sharing their gains and losses to help everyone else.

The last event we all went to we had a blast, it was like 7-8 Rx7s and a lot of forum members. It's not always about the time you run, it's more about building a car and having some fun. Here's a vid of a bunch of us from the NE, including Ernie, we had a lot of fun that day lol.

I've seen all the vids even your street racing one vs the money race with the mustang. Sporty's Green/bluish FD was 620..... thats all fine and dandy

I'm going to go ahead and say it! all of you are retired! period
the whole RX7.com team and those that race with them back in the day , have thown in the towel. Karl, Ari, Steve, jigsaw, Robert L the list goes on

ErnieT is the ONLY one still string to make more power then any of YOU period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

flame suit on

your right, i had my fastest E.T making 550 rwhp..
im definatly not retired, lol, but my car is a street car, wich i run in the street class, well ran the street class until they changed the rules stating you can only run the oem rear end and tranny... that killed it for me..
so, ive been slowly putting together another seven for the all motor class...hopefully it will be running this year

Why not run Quick 16? It's still a NOPI class and allows your setup, anything goes. Just have to run faster than a 11.5 and a 16 car field which is rarely filled.
