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'.

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2002...sults/pro.html

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! :)

Anais 7.272@183.66
Ken Scheepers 7.273@186.67

yeah baby go get them Ken, beutifull #s and thats for all the people that said KILO'S motor would never see those times.... great job Ken youve work really hard to get there ..................zoom, zoom ,zoom
:suitdance :smiley309 :101384_l: :djcelebra :jump:

Dee is running hella hard 2 , great job..... i'am so exited i cant even imagine how Ken is feeling ....

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

Noel why aren't you working on the car today! :)
There's internet at the shop so get to work! :lol:

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.

Anthony

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:

he needs to start sandbagging...

So, I guess he didn't get another run in ?

WOO WOO!

Congrats to Ken on those AWESOME numbers, and I am LOVING the MPHs too!

BTW - Nice to se the new MX-6 running those numbers in so "short period of time"

3) Eddie Colon, Winter Park, Fla., '95 MX-6, 7.626, 181.25 :D
awesome to see my friend Robert's brand new car is doing so well
with alot of improvent to come with those MPHs

:suitdance

Its only be out since when? Feb?

I hope to see some GOOD numbers out of that MX6!

I got the phone call on this right after it happened on Saturday. MUCH congrats to Ken and Dee representing Mazda. Both of you guys are doing great! So where are all the full Peri port w/forced induction and Bridge port w/forced induction advocates now?(this doesn't include the Semi-PP guys) Since Ken is running a street port it goes to show you what a properly executed street port combination can do vs. a full PP or BP motor w/forced induction. I guess all you full PP and BP w/forced induction advocates will STFU concerning the arguement already! Too bad I didn't make it to VA this weekend, good luck to you guys in the elimination rounds.

Bandwagon racing! :lol:

How long have you been waiting to use that one:lol:

Just wait, it's close. As a matter of fact it's right under your nose:bottom:

If only they knew the truth.:lol:

Nucleur Banana power equation----->

Some good old Texan guacamole, sour cream and a touch of salsa! :lol:

My friend variety is the spice of life.

Ken used to run a Kilo ported bridge engine, with no semi-pports. Did he change it?

SHHHHH!

Bridge ports don't work. You didn't get the message above!. :lol:

That's the secret.

....http://kenscheepers.com/Cracked%20Housing%20002.jpg

yeah where you guys @ now , told you bridge ports and p ports sucked they make no power :hippie: :pat:

Jb Weld:D

only 3 extra dowls added? not enough!! motor will still flex..
i have never seen a housing damaged like this tho/....

and KEN goes on to the final!!!!!!

Hehe...

Go Streetport go!..

hmm, i wonder if Dee had anything to do with that?

Just got a call from VA. Dee and Ken in the final.

I just phoned VA to make sure about the port. I apologize, I only saw the center plate in FL, so I assumed it was a street port since I didn't know the secondaries were bridged, sorry about the comment and assumption to all you guys, I'll go sit in the corner of the room now, lol.

YES.

W/L Driver RT ET Speed

(W) Dee Karagiannis ('07Mazda) 0.116 8.071 161.09
(L) Paul Efantis ('03 Solara) 0.136 29.547 136.39

(W) Ken Scheepers ('05 RX8) 0.963 9.386 179.25
was unopposed

It will be an all Mazda final in Modified.... Ken took it easy off the line, then put the hammer down.

lol..
You guys are so anti port if it isn't streetport... hehe..
It sucks there's only 4 corners, where do we put all the other SP adversaries. lol...

Everybody has different views and way's of making power this doesn't mean you
should criticize other's because they do something different or think differently of you...

rotorheads should stick together and team up to go against the enemy (pistons)
not fight each other.

Stop spreading this misinformation Chris. Those times are not attainable on salsa. To set the record straight Ken is using pico de gallo not salsa:naughty:.

hehe...

I hear that stuff is so viotile that after the 1000ft mark you can shut off your ignition(spark) and your car will still run....

Another update: Ken wins the final in VA. Congrats to both him and Dee for a great all Mazda final.
Cris, Enzo, 680RWHP12A and Doc Holiday thanks for the lesson in STFU, lol. I'll make sure to bring you guys some of that salsa and pico de gallo at Etown, lol.
