Jesus Padilla runs 9.9 @131mph back to back sets a new NHRA record wins the all motor class with his 1985 first gen. Rx7. This was a glorious day for the rotary engine. Not only did mazda win in the all motor class but in the Modified class it was an all Mazda Rx7 finals in both lanes. Carlos Gonzales with his 1990 second gen. won running 8.0 @ 170mph against a 1983 first gen Rx7 running 8.2 ...
Jesus Padilla and Ken Scheppers Rx7's are the heaviest rear wheel drive cars in the all motor class. NHRA has them tiping the scales at 2100lbs while the honda's and vw's are in the 1650lbs .. congrats to Jesus Padilla and Carlos Gonzales..

I was at the races at moroso yesterday and saw it happen. The run was awesome; close but the 7 came out on top. T'was a wonderful day of racing. There was also a 3 rotor that was stuffed in what seemed to be a Datsun 120Y that ran great all day long. The sound of that motor was awesome. Lisa Kubo from the looks of things is going to put some serious *** whopping on the guys in her class.
