I've been reading about the Supra that just went 241 MPH in the Texas Mile. Very impressive. I don't think they have a vid up yet, but here is a pic of the car:

Have any of you rotary guys ran a mile drag? I'm curious where a 500, 600, 700 whp RX-7 would come in? I think it would be quite a rush to run it.

We plan on running at the texas mile, but there's a lot of work to be done before then. Does anyone know if any 7's have done it??

i find it hard to imagine that someone with an Rx-7 hasn't attempted this. looks a lot of like fun.

I've been to the event a few times as a spectator, it's pretty awesome.

there are usually a couple of 7s there, but they are never running. Most of the guys I know down here are track junkies, top speed is meh.

Ari and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. He's considering building his 7 next year just for this event.

DrKillJoY

Is he going to fix up the red one or the flag drag car?

The flag drag car.

That would be so awesome if there are some representation from the club next year. I will rooting for you guys!

Do you guys have a goal of what speed you guys are trying to hit at the end of the mile?

DrKillJoY

200+ is my guess.

I wouldn't have any part in it. Ari would be taking on the task himself! lol...

DrKillJoY

You might post in Ari's forum section here and see what he has to say...
