Jose Torres and his 93 Rx7 full tube chassis had a match race against Carlos "Pepeloco" Montano in his new 1996 Mazda Mx6 20B 3 rotor full tube chassis. Pepeloco's Mx6 is a fairly new car and has NOT had enough time at the track to get the bugs out of it. He still manage to run a 7.66 @175 mph against Jose Torres blistering 6.89 @197 mph . I was told over all it was and awesome event and team Puerto Rico won. The 6.89 is Jose "Siquel Racing" Torres best Time up to date with his 3 rotor Rx7.



Today was the Team USA vs Team P.R. Pan American Nationals.. I was told it was pure rotary engine Madness... This took place in P.R.

On the 3 rotor Rx7 I not sure. the owner of that car has never let anybody see under the hood. On the 3 rotor Mx6 it's a streetported 20B 3 rotor engine.

Ito, I'm assuming that siguel was running at PR weight and not NHRA weight. 6.89 is impressive either way, but im wondering if you know what the car weighed after the run?

From what I remember he was only 10lbs underweight last time he was here at Englishtown.

10lbs...



He should have thrown some tools or a floor jack in the back of the car for the runs
