Post by: maximtaylor on August 15, 2004, 02:36:09 PM
Passing on information received this morning:

Geff\'s (Re:Worx) FD has done a 10.61 secs quarter mile this morning.

Terminal speed was 130 mph

60ft time was approx 1.5 secs.

Mad rotary pilot was Guy from CPL Racing - quote from Guy "The car will go quicker - once the NOS is running"

Well done chaps!!

Good job to all the guys involved.

Hopefully people will really start to take notice of the RX7\'s soon.  Just need to get them out in bigger numbers now!

Hi Ross :)

Only changes I know of are better driver (£50 note please Guy!!!)and water injection added last night.

No other changes I know of since Friday.

I reckon your FD with bridgeport could better that Ross, it showed the potential at Rotorstock!

A big thanks to Guy for actually doing the car justice and to Rich for taking the car there and back etc.

Incidently anyone in the market for a 10second car I know where there is one for sale.

Congrats to Geff, Rich & Guy.

I remember Geff telling me some time ago he wanted to build a car that would run 10s - must be nice to have achieved it.

Well done.
