Post by: Carl on June 11, 2005, 01:29:10 PM
Just seen a thread on FDUK.
The ReWorx FD RX7 has just run 9.834seconds @ 142.87mph on the 1/4 at the Pod this moring,I reckon that will drop too further by the end of the day!great driving by Andy Barnes too from what I hear.
Congratulations to them!
Keep the rotary target moving ,looking forward to seeing some more rotor motors doing the biz this year.
Well done guy\'s.
Regards
Carl

Well done to all those at ReWorks.

I heard that you would have maybe done something simular to this at Rotorstock if you hadn\'t of broken down on route. :)

Now then Dragon.....What you got in reply!!! :rollin

That was the plan mate! But that was Ross\' day, and thoroughly deserved - his stealth mission was brilliant and made the weekend a bit more bearable after the **** we had going up! :cool

The motor is the best to date, we hit a 144mph terminal which was pleasing, and survived a 10,200rpm moment due to a mis-shift! ;)

I was there and watched all the runs with the lads. If they can sort out the traction then this car is going to make a lot of people sit up and say why do i need to spend all that money on an pig ugly skyline when i can have a RX-7 and a new house.:p

Well done Rich/Jeff shame you couldn\'t have the 60ft king driving:D I\'m sure there\'s more to come as it sounds like the track wasn\'t that great. btw they\'ve put me in with the top 16 for next weekend so better get back to the dyno as I will need 400 to make an impression made 320 today on 9psi so lots more to come. Congrats again:cool

Should have been still done as a mark of respect for Ross,don\'t forget that Ross has pretty much the same power from all accounts!LOL!if he had the same gearbox I reckon you should be a little worried.
Well done Rich,Geff and Chris.Keep it up.

Cheers Guy, better start winding the boost into the CTR pronto :D

The "Kenny\'d Quartermiler" managed a high 1.6 best 60ft, so he still has some thing to learn from you. After you were on the phone this morning, Geff was relaying to Andy some thing you\'d said about this or that and he replied something like "ignore that ****, he only does 10s" :rollin

Be good to catch up next Sunday bud :wave

Wow, excellent performance.  Was suprised by the paint job.  Good choice on the FEED front bumper :)

Gear changes were so quick.

I am looking forward to Santa Pod next weekend even more now!  I want to see Dragon v RE:Worx!

Paint job was born out of a drunken stupor I think :D

Thought you\'d like the nose ;)

That\'s made my day!  What a result!  Well done the RE:Worx team.  I also have to say that I have big respect to Dragon for their beast too.  It\'s nice to be able to claw some respect from my mates who are mostly skyline drivers!  ;)

Stunning time guys, well-done.
Hey Rich, what else except for the gearbox was done to the car?
Tim said it was down on power, but the terminal is so much better?

Post by: MikeLMR on June 13, 2005, 12:30:21 PM
if it was down on power and running higher terminals it must be a fair bit lighter ?
