"Falito" is legendary in the world of rotary drag racing in Puerto Rico. he currently owns the title for the worlds fastest 13B in his series 5 Rx7. 7.44@181+mph.. Falito said with this new engineered Rx8 by Tim Mcamis race cars he could run 6.9 with his 13B..

the car is sponsored by a puerto rican technical college. 6.9 with a 2 rotor would be a serious accomplishment..

The thing is, able has a weight restriction. Im not exactly sure how much his car weighs but its around 2000 right?



This guy could run the car at 1500 lbs....

falito is the man, glad to see him stepping it up again. his FC is one of the oldest pro class rotaries and has always held its own against the newer, more advanced cars. he was running 7's a few years ago STILL with the cartech 2TC webber blow through system. with a new up to date chassis, he will be on top again

If Falito says he can do it, I believe it. Everything he said he was going to do hes done. they don't call him " el Rotor mayor" for nothing. I can't wait to see him do it.
