Re: Recognize this engine?
Jeff, that red RX7 was run by a guy whos last name was Atkins, from the Tacoma/Puyallup area. He had a shop called "Atkin`s Rotary Service" that was located behind his house.He used to regularily race at Bremerton & SIR, and later ran the car is 10.90 Super Street, with a Nash 5 speed behind the rotary. I think his first name may have been Dennis, but I can`t say for certain.
As I understand it, Terry Hoard was working on a new RX7 when NHRA eliminated Modified Eliminator in 80 or 81. Never seen (or heard! )of Terry Hoard after that.
