Beefy will debut the RX-7 at this meeting, to commence licencing runs and enter competition. The 13B Turbo combo will be tuned up at Factory RE this weekend, with a new Direct twin plate clutch installed.

The AERO Outlaw RX-7 may make the meeting - a strip down of the engine this week will determine the outcome. The blower banged pretty hard on the 7.38 run at the Top Alcohol meeting.

Top Alcohol Meeting 29th and 30th Jan 2010
The AERO Racing Team presented at the two day Top Alcohol event at the Perth Motorplex this weekend, with the AERO RX-7 entered in Supercharged Outlaws, and the team really keen to test new components on the AERO Lexus engine.

"We have been dealing with some niggly little problems this season" said team owner and driver Paul Carey, "So solving all the problems was a priority so we can concentrate fully on getting the car to reach the lowest sustainable et and achieve consistency at that".

"Friday nights qualifier started with a nice strong burnout - the quad cam engine loves to rev, but tends to bog down very quickly if the revs drop. I have been experimenting with a two-step on the launch, and slowly getting my 60 foot times down lower - the two step allows a more even launch rpm regardless of the temperature, and I get 40 pounds boost prior to launching. Unfortunately an engine miss that has been in the engine all season was worse than ever, so I got off the power at 1,000 feet and failed to meet the 7.99 unofficial cut-off".

"Back in the pits is was obvious our oil problems were over with the new Peterson oil pump performing perfectly. Overnight we completed servicing and took off the complete MSD Magneto system and fitted my old faithfull back-up Mallory points magneto and we prepared for the 1.30 run. The track was a little slippery in the heat of the day, but a strong run free of missing showed potential with a 7.78 @ 181mph black tracking most of the way".

"The crew turned the car around pretty quick, and I put in a small change to the tune. In the compulsory qualifier at 7pm the RX-7 took off like a rocket - on the back wheels for ages. I hit my shift point and almost hit the rev limiter in top (that's 10,000 rpm) on a lovely straight pass that set a new personal best - 7.367 @ 185.95mph with a fantastic 1.096 60' time".

"That put the RX-7 10th in the field of 18 cars, and a first round match up with Gary Busch in the Pontiac Firebird Funny Car who top qualified with a 6.570. We had to do little to the car for the next round and dialed in a 7.330, and after a nice strong burnout faced Busch who had dialed in a 6.550. The car launched hard again but at 1,000' the burst panel blew with a boom that sheared all the blower studs as well. A 7.384 @ a slowing 166.66mph was no match for the Funny Car's 6.553 - 0.003 over their dial in".

"We made brilliant progress this meeting with the new AERO billet engine, and look forward to the Westernationals in a month".
