Well the numbers are a lot tighter in the first round of qualifications than they were in the last race. Ken Scheepers ran the best time and Jesus is really kind of tied for second with a matched ET but a hair lower MPH.
This is looking a lot better for Jesus this time around.

Kilos's improved performance is a result from a change to EFI from carb. He's running a Microtech ecu now.

kabooski

Yes! and that was a rush job
no dyno tunning
no prior testing lol

he is running on pump gas BTW

man there is a lot of competition this year
the times everyone is running this year
is a alot quicker then last

Scalliwag

A Microtech? Cool. I like what I have been seeing on the newer Microtech stuff. They seem to be coming along pretty good.
That's is definately a real good sign for Jesus because he got that good a time right out of the shoot. There are so many of these guys running 10.40's that it is really hard to tell who has the best chance of winning. I like it like that As long as a rotary wins I am happy.
Abel is right at the brink of getting into the 6's but there are a few guys that always seem to be a step or two ahead of him. Siguel needs to get their asses out here and rip the Celica and Solara's some new ********!
Our fastest rotary is sitting on an island in the Atlantic? That is very disappointing.

kabooski

woohoo
Its Kilo vs Mohler in the finals

This going to be a good one!

kabooski

Yesssssssssssss! Kilo (Jesus) WINS!

Depends how you look at it

FD from PR won the street class running a 10.6@133mph or something. His first time running in USA very cool guy too.

Scalliwag

Well I would at least like a rotary to win the event Seeing that Abel is back in the pack a little too much right now.
Speaking of which. Ken broke his rearend. Jesus ran Scott Mohler and Mohler threw a rod during the burnout. So Jesus got the win.

kabooski

Yes that FD was Sporty auto FD

he is from orlando now actually
he won the street class in Moroso
with a 10.12 in 1/4 no NOS
2900 pounds

and runs a MicroTech!

Scalliwag

Cool. As long as the rotaries win we should all be happy

only got 3 runs. made adjustments between each run. first run totally fucked up everything 14.1 @ 91 . 2nd run 12.6 @109 spinning the entire 60 FT with my M&H's. 3rd adjusted maps. lowered tire pressure . ran 12.5 @ 108 missing 3rd gear. i think i found my clutch problem too. 99% sure its just hydraulics

Hey does anyone know why Siguel got DQ'd after his 7.0 qualifying pass?

Scalliwag

Wow, when their name did not show up in the qualifying I assumed they were not there. That is a long way and a lot of trouble to get here and then get disqualified. Bummer

Bucrx7

It's a 5 speed FD running a Microtech. He said he qualified on friday with a 9.9@133mph.

kabooski

Just got some inside info on Kilo
Those 10.4 runs was done on his Gene berg weber
not on the EFI setup

They did not have enought time to fine tune the E.F.I
so he switched back to the carb for E-town
