Reactive Racing 9.2 @ 153mph at Battle of the Imports!!
 

Hey guys, just got back from the race. First time out and we did pretty well. Finished 2nd place, but with the fastest et of the day. In the finals Demetrios ran a 9.2 @ 153mph setting the record for an RX7 for the pro-import class at the Battle of the Imports. All this was accomplished without N20 and running C16 turbo only. Although he had the faster et in the finals, he had problems getting off the line with the anti-lag and lost to a slower 9.45 run. All in all it was a good day and look foward to the next race.

Congrats....... what kind of 60 foot did he manage?

1.33 60' Not too shabby....

Uh yeah.......... Not too shabby at all :)

What was race weight? Around 2500 with driver?

Yes, actually you must do math well....lol he weighed in at just under 2500lbs.

Great Job guys! Very impressive!

All that hard work is really paying off!

Man, the NE is a nice place to be with a rotary, you've got low 9 sec full chassis Fd's, you've got many 10sec fd's that drive to the track and back home, you've got street driven 9sec fds, you've got a 10sec stock twin turbo Fd....., you've got guys at the track that run Haltech, microtech, tecIII, power fc, wolf 3d etc....

Just a nice combination of hardcore rotary guys!

Again, keep up the great work and look forward to the 8s!

Demetrios has my video camera right now. Prolly watching it a million times by now.:D I'll post the video as soon as I get it back.

Very impressive time:D

wow!!

...

That is an amazing time. What is "anti-lag" you refer too. How in the hell does anybody cut a 1.3 60'?

sweet! congrats! good luck in the future

Anti Lag is otherwise known as a 2 Step.

Aww, and here I was hoping that someone had figured out WRC-style anti-lag for rotaries.

... er... unless I'm getting confused. Two step is just RPM activated spark cut right, whereas the WRC-style antilag delays the spark until the exhaust is open?

Anti-lag my fellow rotor heads IS NOT the same as a two step. A two step limits rpm.

He is using an actual anti-lag which produces about 15lbs of boost on the line.;)

Yeah most aftermarket ECUs will do antilag now.. They do it by retarding the shit out of the timing and dumping in fuel..


Not quite the same as WRC antilag but it still gives you boost at launch.

Nice work guys!

Nice. Is he using a sequential type transmission or OEM?

Jack

Standard H pattern tranny.

Nah!
Just talking shit!!:)

crispeed

Is he using the G-force or the Jerico? It has to be one of those correct? I would guess it's the Jerico but it's just that.......a guess.

Great times!

Hey cris,

I think I saw the secret weapon you where talking about. Blue FD 20B Full chassis that said CLR racing on the winshield (Carlos Lopez). I heard you where tunning the car. Is this Correct?

BTW: I hear your tunning Microtech now is this correct?

I hope so cause mine is on the way

Correct, Jerico.:D

Which rear end is he using? Ladder bar? 4 Link?

Stock independent rear......;)

Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

You guys are just too secret squirrel :)

Out of which car?:D I don't expect to hear the truth but am i correct in assuming that it's not a stock RX7 rear?

Stock RX7 idependent rear original!! straight from 1993 in fact....:D

ErnieT: i thought by the way you guys were saying it that it might be changed. Do you know if the car might be coming to the NHRA race here in Vegas on July 25th-26th? I'm dying to see some Rx7's come here and run!

Im messin w/ ya. It has a solid rear in it. West Coast is a bit far for right now. I know that we may be going to Florida and at the end of the year, may make out to Cali for the IDRC finals. Have to see how the year pans out. Next race is the IDRC Summer Slam Nationals at Englishtown, NJ.

Why did you go off and ruin an RX7 with a solid rear end? It will handle like shit!!! How do you plan on taking corners at 160MPH????????

I can't beleive you would ruin the RX7!!!!































































heh :p:

Ahhhhhhh......i see. I'm in the process of putting in a TH350. I just ordered the converter the other day and will have the crossmembers and the new cage built within the next couple of weeks. I think i might actually be finishing my car up......yeah right!

I hope you guys come out to the race at the end of the year. I'd like to meet you and see the car in person.

When exactly are you coming to Florida and for which race?

For the Battle of the Imports race in two weeks.
