Good lord ! Is NOPI this weekend ? I didn't know he was racing NOPI !

Damn, sounds like he's trying !

wow congrats Ken. They are tied for the #1 spot for the worlds quikest 13b.Let's see if they can takethe record away from PR on the next run

It is Nhra virginia. not nopi viking

Virginia Sport Compact Nationals...

"Left Lane: Ken Scheepers Runs 7.273/186.67, Now #1
Right Lane: Luis Corujo Runs 8.451/163.57, Now #2

Ken just smashed the current national record for ET - he'll have two more chances to back that up later today. Ken Scheepers' incremental times: 60ft-1.089 sec., 330ft-3.026, 660ft-4.657/154.00mph, 1,000ft-6.071"

Dee also ran good with new car...

"Left Lane: Paul Efantis Runs 7.606/185.64, Now #2
Right Lane: Dee Karagiannis Runs 7.663/176.07, Now #3

Big wiggles off the line for Efantis, Dee had has hands full as well. Neither driver lifted, the extra distance cost them some in the ET bank, but both runs give the teams plenty of data to tune from for the next round."

Congrats and good luck to both this weekend.

Ken is flying with that Street-ported motor :-)

Are you just talking about the modified record ?

I remember when I watched Jose run a 7.138 189.07 at baytown back in 02'.

Jose (siquel) torres 7.13 run you just put up was with his 20b full chassi rx7

He's talking about the 2-rotor 3/4 chassis record.

Dammmm!
Ken left before the tree activated.
Oh well he's got one more round of qualifying left today.
Fingers crossed! :)

There ain't no one else that deserves it more also.
His hard work and dedication is paying off.

hell yeah i know thats right :icon_tup: :icon_tup: :icon_tup: KEN is on a roll the rest of the field can just wave bye bye :wave: :wave: :wave: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

Is he still running a Microtech?

hes running electromotive tec3r. congrats to ken and dee

I'm gonna try go download the video off my friends camcorder, he got all the runs of Dee and Ken on tape.

We took the trip down from NYC to VA and to see that run, it was well worth the drive! Ken red lit on the 2nd pass to back it up but I think he has one more chance.

Are you sure he was running a 3 rotor at that point ? I didn't think a 3 rotor was allowed and sure don't remember seeing a 3 rotor in his engine bay, OH That's right, Siquel likes to be secret squirrel and not show anyone his engine bay :hahano:


:smiley_12

Siquel always has been running a 20b in his car. By that time Abel Ibarra was just getting started with his 20b devolpment,,

Indeed he is. Ken is also running a two-piece eccentric shaft along with a custom bearing housing for the centre plate, both made by my friend Steve at Mechanical Power Systems (www.mpsys.ca).

Thats awesome Ken ran so fast, but its kinda bad since it so early in the season. Now Paul will complain and more than likely NHRA will allow him to run a bigger turbo. He's ran a 7.2X already.

And supposedly in the next two races a couple of cars that were running in the modified class last year wil be returning. The rotary powered ones that is! :lol:
