Might we ever be seeing a return to the modified class with a real American rotary threat to go against Team Puerto Rico?

Abel Ibarra's r100 is not a modified class car. It is a ProRwd class car. It is full chassi. Also it would be an illegal car because it weights less then the mandatory 2000lbs 2rotor/4cyl weight rule. Still would be nice to see it back in action.

yea but that would only be very small changes for him to make to be legal.

It would be very nice one more car to watch. Team Puerto rico hold it down pretty dam well though.

that car is by no means a threat to the Puerto Ricans. They still have more power to use. All those 7.40's were not at full power and remember Jorge Lazcanos rx7 is the class pig weighing in at 2170 lbs. By next year the Puerto Rican modified class 13bs will be in the low 7.20 zone

Man, them Puerto Ricans are no joke when it comes to rotaries! Where I'm from in the Virgin Islands, they always bring their cars over from Puerto Rico, or the Puerto Ricans that live on the island would always have some vicious *** rotary powered Toyota Starlett. They just ripped up the track! I just want to give nuff BIG-UPS from me on the neighboring island of Santa Cruz! You guys keep doing what you're doing!
