Sweet! So finally Abel has his dragster working! This is wonderful. I've seen him race when his was running with rx-7. Wonderful news bro!

Yup, I should add that he will be doing some launch testing at the 1/8th mile in Irwindale, CA on Thurs 5/10 and then planning on 1/4 mile racing the following weekend in Fontana, CA. It would be great if lots of rotary fanatics would come out to support him.

I couldn't believe it when he first contacted me, but it came down to wastegate issues that has kept him from racing competitively for the last 2 years.

I know, but it was 11pm and we're car guys not Hollywood and you wouldn't fire it up indoors.

I would love to go out support for him, but I live in Texas it sucks. Where are the results going to be posted of his test run?

Yea, I saw him fire it up at Sevenstock a couple of years ago. It blew massive amounts of air out that exhaust. **** was flying everywhere in the courtyard. LOL

I called him after seeing this thread. Hopefully he'll get more video footage testing tomorrow. I told him the fans are hungry for this type stuff; FEED THEM

I enjoyed this thoroughly. Thanks synchronic.

Everyone, please support Abel any way you can.

How did it run at Irwindale? What's the odd noise at the end of the video? Is that just the sound of this monster?
