Only Just!! still struggling to comprehend it. As i said, i remember when i were a lad going to Santa Pod to watch Don Garlits, the grand master of drag racing from the USA doing mid to high six second passes in his 8 litre V8 supercharged nitro methane fuelled \'top fuel dragster\'.
I see from reading an interview with Abel Ibarra that he is aiming for 6.2 seconds using the 2 litre engine and will then consider building a 2.6 litre to get into the 5 second bracket!!!

[Norton]

Ive just noticed today that the time claimed for abels 13B rx7 bodied car is now 7.12 sec at 178 mph !!
Anyone know if this is for real? Have they just set a new record?

[antnicuk]

HOW DO THEY DO THAT WITHOUT A TURBO................... OR EVEN WITH A TURBO???

There is only so big you make these ports!!!    we are so far behind!!!

[Norton]

It is turbo\' d
13B REW 1.3-liter turbocharged on methanol

[antnicuk]

not the fastest one,  the list of  sec N/A cars below them

[MikeLMR]

I\'d guess it involves

Huge ports
cars lighter than fag packets
huge sticky tyres
proper auto boxes
and lots and lots of revs

Exactly, I think to compare UK drag FD\'s to the list you have provided is in my opinion b####x the quickest UK rotary arrived under its own steam, swapped tyres and run up the strip all day long with a standard drive train and fuel!
It didn\'t get re-built after every other run and had a standard chasis, and it was built on a shoe string.

Sorry for the rant but this sort of \'how wonderfull\' the Yanks / Aus are I feel will do the UK scene no good at all, if you want to compare do it like for like.

I dont think anyone would disagree with you there, what i find incredible is that these 1.3 and 2.0 full on drag racer rotaries can compete head on with the 8 litre Supercharged V8s. Wouldnt it be great to see cars like Abel Ibarra\'s in the UK ?!!
I guess a lot of it is down to big sponsorship money... do you think we could we get Richard Branson along to Rotorstock 2 ??

[Dan Norton]

Thats the thing....the americans have a massive car/drag culture....they have dedicated series, with prize money and big sponsorship deals to boot.

We dont have that here in the uk.
