Atm Rockey is 3rd fastest in the world I think at 7.1; Abel Ibarra from the US is sub 7 now in the RX8 I think (may have been a late run in his FD but as thats in Aus being run by Joe/RM now thats doubtful I would guess) and Hose Torres from PR is still just fastest in the very late 6\'s...

Yep - as Rich said those are the two 6 second rotors in the world.  Abel ran the 6 in the RX-7 Rich, I believe there are a number of issues being sorted on the RX-8.

No rotor has broken the 200mph mark however.

this is 1/4 mile terminal velocity?  Not a top speed run!?

Carlos Montano and Pepe Loco Racing has debuted their brand new MX6. Powered by a single turbo 1300 horsepower 20b triple rotor and huge 33x17 inch goodyear slicks. The MX6 is looking to crack the yet unseen 200 mph mark!
lets hope it does

Yep we are talking about 200mph on the 1/4 mile.


Racing Beat has gone 241mph with an FD.
