In the all-motor class?

Nope. He has been dominating soooo badly (and so easily), that when all the FWD boys complained enough,
They first gave him weight penalty after weight penalty.

So, to avoid that, he started sandbaggind, and pressing his brakes near then end of his runs to not win by an incredible margin.

So, even then the FWD boys complained some more, and since they have the big sponsors, they banned the three-rotor for next year.

onepointone 10-25-02 08:31 AM

that sucks... all that time, effort, and money to get banned. do you or anyone else have any more pictures, such as engine pics... ect. i would love to have some more info on what he is running, building process, ect. do you know him? stuff like that

Hey that one looks like my car, with a lot wider wheels :)

jrios 10-25-02 12:47 PM

I dont have information with me, but im going to his shop soon and Ill talk to him and try to get some pictures of the engine. His best time was 10.3, but just like directfreak said he has been pressing the breaks at the end of the 1/4 if not then he will get eliminated due to time. After i get the information and hopefully get some shots I will put up a thread about the car and all the info.

What capacity are the cars he's running against?

Defprun 10-25-02 04:19 PM

They would be 1.8 to 2.0 litre? And since the 3 rotor is 2.0 litres hes in the right league....only the others should be disqualified considering they have an advantage...they have 4 pistons while he only has 3 rotors!!! How unfair!

MIKE-P-28 10-25-02 04:28 PM

I wanna see the 'motor' :D

Well, in that case I'd be complaining as well. A 4.0 litre rotary is hardly fair against a 2.0 litre piston engine.

diabolical1 10-25-02 09:40 PM

i really don't think it would matter ... if there was a way for him to run the same times with an N/A 12A or 13B, i'm pretty sure they would bitch about it and try to have him banned nevertheless. these guys are babies!

onepointone 10-26-02 11:43 PM

im with you, i think even though a 3-rotor is probably overpowered for the class, they will bitch about a 2 rotor because its not a "fair" race.. my suggestion to them.. drop your 4 banger and go rotary :)

Rotortuner 10-27-02 12:37 AM

So, does any one know is he going to come back next year with a 2 rotor or is he going to give up? or is he going to run in another class with NOS or turbo or something. I was hoping he would stay all motor and just come back with a lighter car such as an rx3 or something with a pp13b. With a lighter car such as a 2000 pound rx3 and the 2 rotor i am sure he could put down the same numbers. Hopefully we will still see him around next year.

RacerX7fb 10-27-02 01:27 AM

My guess is that his all rotor PP 20B is putting out around 450 HP and say that those 2.0L pissed-on engines do around 300 at best.. ok, maybe more on a wrong-wheel, oops I mean on front wheel drive cars heheh..that IS major spankage! :bigthumb: Oh well..too bad for them :pity: Hooray to Rotary Power!

onepointone 10-28-02 09:06 PM

i read something that he was planning on coming back with a 2rotor but was looking at putting hte smae numbers down on the ground.. something about he would be running with other people running 2 rotors so it would be harder to ban him because they would have to ban rotaries all together

Rotortuner 10-28-02 11:02 PM

Ya. he just needs a lighter car and then he can throw a 2 rotor PP in that will put down like 330 or 340 and he will run the same numbers again. But they will probably have to many weight restrictions on him, for him to desimate like this laste year.

lost cause 10-29-02 11:56 AM

How hard would it be to get a 2 rotor pushing atleast 300 horse?
