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 :-)

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.

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.
