The rising of a new 20B KING. Part II
@ Puerto Rico's International Speedway.
A month ago, I told you guys that Humberto Cruz Radical RX8 made its first 1/4 mile pass of 7.00 @ 199MPH... followed by 2 more 7.0 including a 203+MPH pass
This past weekend "Major League" does it again!....... only better: 6.91 @ 200MPH!

Look out Abel Ibarra....

Como dice Marvin Santiago.
I'm proud of serving in the military and being deployed, but when I see
somethin' like that, it makes me wonder why I'm not back en La Isla del
Encanto.

First of all i'll like to say good work to the guy's involved in the building and tuning of this monster three rotor rx8 but we all have to remember that abel is the Godfather of rotary without him i dont think that rotary performance would be where it is today so guy's please dont tell abel to look out i dont think that is a very polite thing to say, Us rotary fanatics should praise him for all his hard work that he has done for rotary, Rotary should not be fighting rotary down we already have an up hill battle as is so please guy's respect abel for what he has done for rotary thank's guy's ....

new 20b king
like i mentioned in another thread, flaco is a one hit wonder. hes been working on this 3 rotor combo for almost 2 years and the only things hes got to show is a few 6 sec. passes and a whole bunch of broken motors. you have no idea have many motors hes destroyed. the new major league rx-8 is not even 2 months old and he has multiple 6sec. 200+mph runs under his belts.
major league will be coming to etown for the nhra event in oct. i hope flaco shows up.

If he meets these requirements in the NHRA rule book, then his runs will be legit.
Notice in the last rule, they only allow twin turbos at a certain size. If they limit the size of 2 turbos, then 3 turbos is illegal because I know hes using 3 turbos. If im wrong, then give us some pictures of his engine and the specs, just like this
Comon dont be shy

It just seems that by saying that it is not NHRA legal, his time is not legit
You and I know that the only *cough* excuse *cough* is the third turbo. Hell, if the more turbos the better, why doesn't flaco add a second turbo 
Besides my point is still valid, let see Flaco do 3 consistent FULL passes, at that point being legal or not is not an issue, more like being able to race.

About the one hit wonder deal... well Flaco has been out front since the early 90's... if you want to call that a one-hit wonder, then... what can I say.
What I really like is... that I see some top notch pros have worked on this new ride. You can't beat top pros and a nice budget. The chassis and body work is Don Ness, the motor was done by Alec Bell (KIWI RE) and tuned by Siguel... all tops in their field.
Abel is proud that his 8 was built and tuned entirely (motor, chasiss) by his shop, Flaco Racing. He has much respect for all of the above, and even talks with Don Ness regularly.
And I do have an idea how many motors Abel has destroyed!
Much success to Major League, and we'll see them at E-Town.

Rumors are running that they are willing to put $50 LARGE ones, on a test run against Flaco at the next event in Englistown this October. Time to put up, or shut the #@%&* up

BTW - I don't think he was showing much respect to Siguel on the interview you did to him.

... also why would they run a car that *might not* be built to the same rule set. Abel understands there are other combos out there that can potentially make more power, but are not allowed on the NHRA circuit... maybe they can make this same offer for the NHRA event, if they line-up, and everyone is all-legal like... only fair way I see to do a race like this... I'm not speaking for Abel or anything, just stating that this in my opinion would be a little more straight up and legit... and it would dispell all issues and doubts.

Flaco likes to talk about being the fastest, he also points fingers at. Here is the chance, at a test and tune on Englishtown this October. I mean if he is confident to be cocky, he better be ready to back it up...
It's all about being the Fastest, nothing else!

.The funny thing on all the money and sponsorship Abel had... was that most of this $$ went to running the different Sport Compact circuits and all of the support infrastructure (rig, team, travel, etc...) it cost a lot of money to run "whole" seasons attending most of the races. This chewed a major part of all the money his sponsors gave.

Who says it all about being the fastest and "nothing else"... what do you get for being the fastest and nothing else? I guess if it were street racing, then this might go, but Abel is running a pro-circuit and as such has a car built to the rules of the sanctioning body. If some one paid him bucks to build an outlaw car, I'm sure he'd do it.... but I'll tell you there is no one knocking on his door with $$ asking him to do so at the moment.

The goal for the Flaco team, is to show that Rotary power can run with the fastest PRO-RWD cars in the world. At the moment there isn't a rotary powered RWD (NHRA legal or not) car that can touch these boys, including Abel.

Laying Down Rotary Law
I think every one respects Flaco
they even want for him to come down to PR and they would pay his expenses
Flaco just sets the mark that everyone wants to beat
we can't compete with the 6 Cyls
so were forced to compete against our selfs
that just the way it is
its all about bragging rights
not winning a NHRA championship
they even want for him to come down to PR and they would pay his expenses
