*EDIT - $1900 cash total so far.
- Additional $200 cash from Total Performance Racing (Ohio) to winner.
- Additional $200 cash from Speed Image (Colorado) to winner.



“Gonna be a long drive back to NY empty handed.” - T1 to Miller.

“Its gonna be great to not only set both ends of the record but to do it with you in the other lane... and have the quickest and fastest in Texas title.” - Miller reply to T1.

And I know of another 1st gen two rotor working on getting the bugs worked out so it can push 45psi through a S480 when he races said 3 rotor. Hope that day comes very soon.

Ok it look like Poncho's blue rx2 is a go, he made 750rwhp at 30psi. He's planning on boosting 40+psi.

Did you guys get any runs in? When I left they were still trying to dry out the track. Good turn out, there were a lot of race rotaries present.
