trust me 61620B it is not that easy of a live,what makes a diference its that they build everything,they dont spend large amounts of money in parts they just go get the welding machine a couple of tools and done.

yards and nothing but wrenching on their cars 24-7 and racing 3 times a week.We over here race about 3

times a year.No wonder abel is suffering right now,no track time means no testntune.

WHAT AN EASY PR LIFE.

Rotorholic got out of LA just in time.He also has an easy life.
LOL, How is my life easy? my racecar has been on hold for 2 years now, Your the one with the money here who goes racing all the time and has it easy, I dont think abel is suffering because of tracks are closing in the west coast and NHRA/NOPI is smart for not going back for the 2008 season, look back at the lack of racers and fan attendance (it looks like a ghost town in the stands) remember the series in a business not a hoby......I think puerto ricans have worked hard to get where there at, look back 10 years ago, they were in the 8s
Last time i checked we have taxes here in TX also, more than double if that when you compare to CA when it comes to property tax.....

Noel lets see some more pics of that Anglia in the background... I saw one rusting away here in the Bronx a few years ago and the owner will not sell it.. Now they built a big house on the land where it sat for year and both the Anglia and 2door corona vanished.. Don't mind having one of those once i free up some space, maybe even a ford Prefect

just read that he put the starlet on hold and to build the rx8 chassis because it'll be better suited for the power they're making... I guess the setup with be similar to sporty's...

I am building my motor next week, hopefully i will be beating up the rollers up before the end of the month. I am going to have to run it a little conservative at the track until i get a window net, parachute, screws in my rims, gears, and a neck brace. I figure it should be safe to the low 9s. It's kinda funny that the first rotary motor i will ever build will be of this caliber.

How's your car coming???

No sir, the closest NHRA track is 500 miles away. The local track i run at is IHRA and as long as it's not a big event tech is really relaxed. So that means i have to force myself to be safe.

Accidents happen even when you're being safe!!!!!!!!
You can replace man made parts but not human life and body parts!!
