There must be a dozen like that one. Here is a picture of Abel Ibarra's
dating back to 1997. Late runs with this car are over 180 and well under 8
seconds.

Is anyone running a "slingshot" type rail with an engine of this caliber?
I have not seen anything.
Should be somewhere around 1100lbs, (or less), and really run!

Not to my knowledge Archie. I think the 3 rotor RX7's are slower because
the CG is lower and they don't hook up as well as these old sedans.

I would design the rail so the rotary motor was in back of the axle :-)
