Congrats to Abel. I also think that Adam's A&L RX7 belongs there also, it had ALOT to do with the history of import racing.

What you guys don't know is that Adam is ONLY the first that was noticed by sponsers of the "up coming" import scene here in the U.S. While he was doing 10's, people in Japan were going WAY Quicker. He was just at the right place at the right time...plus he's a trader (damm Hondas)

wow, another reason to be proud to own a rotary.

The only other import I could see going in there, is that white/purple/yellow crx. As it was the first fwd to brake single digits in the us.
