I'll be running my turbo R1 down there in OCT. Just got the motor back with all the go fast parts inside. Tuning it in now on e85. Shooting for 400-450rwhp. The RX7 won't quite be done in time so she'll be seeing the MAR TX mile next year.

201mph march 09 texas mile.
MT 305/35/18 didn't hold in 1st. If there was a burn out box who knows. no powershifting for me, its too expensive when a rear end breaks
