The rotaries own the All-motor class. Ken Scheepers and Jesus are the fastest two there right now. Be sure to checkout www.nhraimport.com over the weekend to see what kind of times they run.

 

though the rotary does have a lot to do w/ kilo's success, the biggest problem right now in all motor is the advantages of rwd. they have to make the fwd's light as kite to even the playing field.

 

what crack have you been smoking?

It was not until "Kilo" showed up that the scales was tipped in favor of RWD car

The FWD's owned the all-motor class since NIRA and since NHRA bought NIRA

second the FWD can be back-halved
they can wieght 1700
compared to Kilo's 2100 unibody all glass and metal
stock dashboard,doorpanels,carpet,etc............

So where is the advantage?
Kilo is "self-sponser'd
Unlike skunkworks and scott mohler who have MAJOR backing
Have HUGE f'ing trailers etc

The only advantage is Kilo's SKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He is the top dog when it comes to rotarys
and N/A power
and he is doing it with low tech power
no EFI

He came out of nowwhere and now
well lets just say a "car company" (not mazda)
has offered him to race a FWD car $$$ bling-bling

They can not ban the 2 rotor
only add wieght to RWD cars
there is not enough RWD's for a separate class

Look at the IDRC the Hondas dominated that class
untill the Bugs came out in force!

 

On a side note... please visit the nhraimport.com
website and vote for jesus padilla on the Poll

 

that's because before kilo there were no rwd cars out there other than scott kelley. there just aren't many n/a rwd 4cyl. chassis' out there today to compete w/ the hondas. a good fully built n/a 4cyl. motor would make similar power to a pp 2 rotor.

 

I have not seen it confirmed on the website yet but Ken got in the 10.3's and no one else has came close. Whether that is correct we will know pretty soon.

 

Well it is up on their site now. Ken got a 10.37/ 127mph and Jesus got a 10.69/ 123mph. It looks like the tweaks Ken was doing did some good

I haven't seen Paddilla's new car but the three Rotor could of passed for a street car minus the wheelie bars. Kens car is all race. Gutted interior, fiberglass,lexan. I also read something somewhere that Ken was getting some assistance from Jesus on his motor.

 

Jesus built Ken's pports. These guys have about the same weight so it should be pretty relative as to how gutted they both are. Same year of car even.

 

hmm Ken's is like a 79 or 80
Kilo's is a 84 or 85

Hey Ken did it right even tho Kilo's car does look like a complete street car (which it is pretty much xcpet for the Gforce) There both the same wieght

However Ken did distribute the weight better
by gutting the whole front+fiberglass and adding the wieght to the rear...

Whether it's Kilo or Ken I'm just happy theres a rotary kicking ***!
