Didn't their team buy AEM's proRWD Civic? Or was that just another H-T rumor?

good point.

the car looks serious though. i like the exhaust blowing the cone away on the 2 step! lol its good to see abel didnt give up and used the time to get everything sorted out. i hope he does come out to at least one of the last two races and puts on a good show and maybe give titan a reason to stick around for a bit.

If you watch the vid from David, it didn't sound too good at that time. Bogged off the line, and tune was off. Vegas would've been a complete waste of time and HIS money, and disappointed everyone, and he didn't want to do that.

The car is ready again, and they're pretty amp'd up about how it is running.

He says that he'll be doing PSCA races too.

I think that's why he's going to be doing the PSCA races.

I hope he was there. We were told that we couldn't run Irwindale because our car was too loud. If they let Abel run that means we should be able to, his car is definitely louder than ours.

I wish I could've seen some of those runs in person. I wonder if anyone got it on their camera phone?

Abel and Chato haven't been picking up timeslips to see what the 60' is for the last 5 months that they've been testing. They actually picked them up tonight and were doing full launches. The man says the numbers are real good, that's all he'd say.
