Abel's  car ran 155 mph at 8.59
Ray's          ran 144mph  at 9.26
Good coverage and photo's on Mazda power.

That is a little slow for Abel unless it is his new
RX7 which I don't think is set up quite right yet.
Too much weight on the nose for the height of the CG.
I think he is going to need to move the engine back.

His old 2000 pound R100 sedan beat 165 and eight seconds.
