Class: C/BMS - El Mirage Dry Lake Bed - 1.3 Mile Course Record
204.990 MPH - Driver: Jim Mederer (Racing Beat) 1994
Class: C/BMS - Bonneville Land Speedway - Long Course Record
242.005 MPH - Driver: Jim Mederer (Racing Beat) 1995
The Racing Beat RX-7 is shown in the "Back In Black" paint scheme after an ill-fated record attempt in 1992. Note the addition of the larger rear spoiler and "roof rails" on this car. A 950 HP 3-rotor, 3 turbo 13G engine powered this car to two land speed records. Although it was hoped this car would travel close to 300 MPH, poor weather and salt conditions kept the the top speed to a mere 242 MPH. Mazda announced that production of the RX-7 would cease after the 1995 model year, and the RX-7 Land Speed Project came to a close.
Today this car still stands as the WORLD'S FASTEST RX-7!
