Kilito, I just saw Varon run a 8.80. Where did he pick up all the time and how come you didn't run your car, or did you?

 

Transmission is a Jericho 5 speed.

Jay, Varon took out the weight he put in it for NSCRA. About 200 lbs lighter. I didn't go because we really didn't feel like going.

 

Unreal!! very inspiring what sort of rpm that 20b pull,sounds beutiful

brent

 

I shift around 10,000 RPMs. Thank you

 

Ok, thanks. So that puts him around 1900lbs with driver. Must be nice to be able to lose and add weight like that. We are stuck with our "stock" chassis cars. It's very hard to get below 1950 or even 2000lbs!

 

Yea the car weighs 1915 with driver or something like that. My car can't get lighter. I weigh 2115. But now the Hondas are catching up! Jeremy Lookofsky ran 9.08 @ 152. NUTS!! lol

 

congrats buddy , I will be back home in May tell the Fam I said hello.

 

Whats the weight on those Hondas?

 

Thanks Alex you have to see the new shop.

The Hondas weigh 1700 minimum weight because of their displacement.

 

Yeah, must be nice to be able to weigh 1650 and 1700lbs with about the same horsepower if not more than the rotaries, especially the 2 rotors. This is the case down here where I race and it's total bull. I had to race Jeremy with my full stock chassis car vs his 1650lb full tube chassis car making over 350hp to the wheels. What's wrong with this picture? Oh yeah, it's not who you know it's who you blow! Crybaby Honda racers.

 

hhahahaha i love your one eyed rota passion Mr jay , not worried about stepping on toes with comments

 

That's just how I roll. You can only beat the dog so many times before it will turn around and bite.

 

Jeremy makes more than 400 to the wheels.. Lol but yeah I'm sure if you talk to the ppl hosting the race, they'll let you go lower in weight.

 

Yeah, I know he is making more power, but at the last race he told me 350.
I knew that was bull. I just wanted to put him on the spot. Regarding lowering the weight for us- that will not work. I can't get my car any lighter, unless I make a custom carbon fiber body panels and an all alluminum engine and that ain't going to happen with my pocketbook. Most of us in this class can barely afford a stock chassis car. This was supposed to be a "stock chassis" class! All of a sudden they let a couple of rich kids come in with their full tube chassis cars and lighter weight to clean the competition. What they need to do is put weight in the Hondas and I mean alot of it too and that is what we are debating with right now down here. Your classes on the east coast(NSCRA) are basically no holds barred and the weights between Honda's and rotaries are closer and that's cool and your allowed to use a 20b. But if they allowed those rules down here, I would say most of us, if not all of us, don't have the means to change our cars or to build another car to compete with a 9.0 second class. I don't know what the answers to all these problems are, so that is why I just go out and race for my own personal goals and ignore all the politics and *** kissers. Take it easy and I look forward to seeing you make that 8 second pass.

 

good job

 

wow that post was from 5 years ago
