1.Ken Scheepers racer in NHRA Sport Compact and possibly the future 2007 champion, greetings and welcome to www.prsportcompact.com. How are you? I am feeling really good now, thank you!
2. Ken, how long have you been racing the NHRA Sport Compact series? I have been racing in Sport Compact since 2001 when I competed in my first Drag Wars Quick 8 event and finished #2. I was “hooked” since then.
3. In which category you started racing? Back then it was “Street Tire” in my 1987 Mazda RX7 Turbo II.
4. What was your best time with your Mazda Rx7 in the All Motor Category? 10.259 @ 130.0 mph
5. How do you feel about the achievements obtained so far in the All Motor Category? I did very good considering I only learned rotary engines in 2002. My Turbo II engine was built by RX7.com and my first All Motor engine was built by Pineapple racing. Then Kilo built me an engine and gave it to me at NO CHARGE, even though I was racing against him. That’s when I started to go faster especially since I had electronic fuel injection.
6. How do you feel about the achievements obtained by Jesús "Kilo" Padilla? I think Kilo’s achievements are, in my opinion, some of the best in the world considering his quiet, calm and methodical approach. Kilo gave me an All Motor engine; Kilo promised me he would build me a good powerful engine for the RX8. He did this from the kindness of his heart for someone he hardly knew, a Gringo not even from the USA! Again, how many people do you know who has those qualities? There are not many in this world today. Kilo is one of my very best friends and he will always be that to me.
7. You had an accident in the Mazda Rx7 that prevented you from staying in the All Motor category. What motivated you to build a Mazda Rx8 and race in the Modified category? Early in 2004, I had already received the body to build a new All Motor RX8. I was not able to get the rules to allow me to use a solid axle in the rear end and I could not afford the money to develop an independent suspension. So I contacted Mazda with the idea to then build a Modified car and now the rest is history. The whole project can be seen at: http://www.kenscheepers.com/project_rx-8.htm
8.There’s a lot of difference between Turbo + Alcohol and All Motor, was it complicated when it came to settings? Oh yes! There is a lot of difference, more so that I ever expected. This has been the single most difficult thing I have attempted in my 52 years of life. Having said that, I am the type of person that when I commit to do something, I do whatever it take to succeed although I almost gave up last year when I blew up 5 motors and just could not get it right. After all those problems, I talked to a lot of people and certainly, one of them was Kilo and when I took a step back, I made a decision to make a big change with engine/ignition management and that’s when it started to turn around for me.
9. Ken, who built your Mazda Rx8? My RX8 was built by Tito Chassis. Again, you can see the entire building of this car on my web site: http://www.kenscheepers.com/project_rx-8.htm
Very briefly, I took the body to Tito Chassis with the recommendation to build the car from Kilo. Tito built the rolling car complete in record time even through 4 hurricanes in 2004. I gave Kilo a used Cosmo engine and Kilo built the first motor for the car. Then I bought it back to Texas and I completed the rest which was wiring, plumbing and paint was done by Mr. Car Shine body shop here in Texas.
10. There’s a lot of controversy about the motor combination you possess. Could you tell us if your motor is overlap escape, semi peripheral port o peripheral port? My motor is side port with half bridge. I do not have semi peripheral or peripheral port I have a very special intake manifold with 14 injectors that was designed and made here in Texas and that is how I make the power. There are no tricks.
11. Who is in charge of the mechanic and programming of the Rx8? I do everything on my car. I drive the RX8, I build my own engines, I build my own transmission, I do my own fabrication of exhaust manifold & Intake plenum, I do the rear end gear and I do my own adjustable clutch, and I tune my own car. I also drive to every race in my pickup truck and trailer, sometime by myself just as I did this last week end in Virginia. I won this race with NO CREW, just me. Now that you know who does the work, I will also say that when I have a tuning issue, I call Kilo and he gives me recommendations to try. I get the chassis help from Tito. When the car is doing something and I think it’s not good, I call Tito, tell him what it’s doing and he tells me what to try. I also get tuning help from Dee and Russ from PCS. I have very good data acquisition on the car. The PCS Dash D200. Without this good information, I would never be where I am at today. I can tell you about EVERYTHING that is going on in the car. Every single bit of the engine computer information, all the clutch and driveshaft, each shock absorber, air fuel ratios, fuel pressure, oil pressure, turbo pressures and temperatures, EGT’s. Again, without these people and equipment, I would be left way behind.
12. How much horse power is your car producing? Somewhere around 1000 I think.
13. Ken, you achieved 7.276 @ 186 MPH, what do you think about that pass? It felt very good because the car went so straight; all I did was stand on the gas and shift the gears then pull the parachute. I did not even know until Luis Corujo came over when his crew brought the time slip paper and told me he had some good news. He made me get on my knees and then handed me the paper. When I first looked at the paper, I look at his numbers and thought I ran a 8 second pass then I realized I was looking at the wrong lane and when I saw I ran that 7.27, I just jumped on Luis and almost made his knees buckle. I was so happy.
14. Does the Rx8 have the strength to improve that 7.276 pass? Oh yes I think it does. But I am not going to be stupid and just try to make records now. I have to be smart because winning a race is 100 points and the record is only 20 points. I want to be Modified champion!
15. Since 13B rotary engines have no restriction from NHRA, do you think it is possible to accomplish 6 seconds in a Modified car like yours? NHRA does have restrictions for the 13B. The tire rule and the 80mm turbo rule. As for 6 seconds, I don’t know about that but, I have learned, never say never! I am working on a very special project and that might be able to do it. We will all have to wait and see!
16. What do you think about Pica Motors’ Mazda Rx7 driven by sub champion Jorge Lazcano, which last season ran 7.39 @ 187 MPH with 2,170 pounds? Jorge did a fantastic job in 2006 and I admire him for showing the world, including myself, that a 13B can be fast and competitive in Modified. That is one of the reasons why I did not give up last year because I said to myself, if he can make that much power and go that fast, I can also do it because we have both have a 13B. I know his engine was semi peripheral but my experience with peripheral port in All Motor engine tells me my combination, or really Kilo’s combination will make better overall power and torque.
17. Ken, do you have any knowledge about the Modified from Puerto Rico, what are your thoughts about it? No, not too much. The only thing I see is when the cars come to Englishtown and Atco but then you don’t get to talk to the guys or see under the hood because everything is a big secret. I don’t know why this is, it seems really strange to me. My combination is open for anyone to see and take pictures. If someone can look at the combination from the outside can not copy it exactly. Also I believe that if we have more cars that are fast, it’s better for all of us and the fans.
18. Would we ever see Ken Scheepers racing in Puerto Rico in 2007? Again, I don’t know with my schedule and funds. I work a full time job and work on the car on nights and week ends so the money to travel and the time off from my job is difficult. I do not have big money sponsors like some people think. I get parts, oil and tires etc and the rest come from my own pocket.
19. Ken, talking a little more on NHRA Sport Compact subject, you’ve won 2 events in a row and you are first in points. How do you feel about these accomplishments? This is a big accomplishment for me, especially since I am essentially doing this on my own with moral support from my friends like Kilo, Tito, Dee, Russ, Juan, Victor & Chris at RX7.com. My local friends help me a lot when we go testing. I am very proud of what I have done to this point and I plan to continue as best as I possibly can.
20.If your car keeps running as it has been running so far and keeping the unstoppable consistency, you possibly could become 2007 Champion. Is Team Scheepers working on becoming the champions of 2007? You bet! I want this championship as bad as all the other racers. I came very close in 2003 in All Motor when I lost by 8 points.
21. Ken, what do you do when you’re not racing? I have a full time job as mentioned, I like to work in my yard with flowers and vegetables and keep the lawn nice, I especially enjoy time with my wife (especially since I spend so much time working on the R8) and good food from all around the world with good wine. I used to fly big RC airplanes but I don’t have the time anymore and I also enjoy fishing. It’s good for relaxing and “slowing down” time for me.
22.Our sincerest thanks for answering our questions and for clarifying a lot of doubts about your car, we wish you the best of luck for this season 2007. Rotary cars # 1 and Ken Scheepers are representing us, any last comments or greetings to your sponsors? I want to thank all of the fans for their support, kind words and encouragement. They are what keep’s me going because I get a big personal reward when I receive all the emails and phone calls. Just like all the talk now about the Gringo, it’s amusing to me and it keeps me charged up even though there is some negative. In closing, especially to all of the people that doubt me and what I can do I say this, “If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.” Thank you and God bless!
2. Ken, how long have you been racing the NHRA Sport Compact series? I have been racing in Sport Compact since 2001 when I competed in my first Drag Wars Quick 8 event and finished #2. I was “hooked” since then.

Whenever swapping a motor they would box themselves in between the trailers or do it at night when no one was around.
I did manage to get one pic while the blockers moved to the side:-)
Anyone else have underhood pics ???

Yeah, I remember seeing Siguel's FD back in 02' down in Houston. Old dude wouldn't let anyone see his setup. I even asked what his "Mods" were. Haha
I was such a dumbass.

Not to star ****, but the FIRST one (that I remember) doing the covering thing was Flaco on his R100, at his first and only Pan Ams. Just for the record, I know he doesn't do that anymore, as I have seen his engine (while they are working on it) at the local NHRA events.
I don't know, I guess its the lastest trend; and I hope they get over it soon; after all, its not like nobody knows what they got under the hood!

Laying Down Rotary Law
the thing is PR is very small
reputation is very important to gain customers over there
its not about who does good work, but is the best tuner, who is the best chassis builder, who is the best engine builder, who knows how to build the best combo
but really its not such a big deal
Mechanical Fuel Pump a must
Electric water pump
13B in any sort but a Street Port (haha)
80mm turbo
40+ PSI
alky
custom intake on PP
hollowed RE Intake with custom box and 101-105MM TB
and the advancement in Apex seal and Shaft is what has made the new times a reality
(stock apex seals SUCK)
and the right chassis
easy as that you too can run low 7's
with 50-100K

A fairly reliable source posted these links as the seals that the fastest rotary cars are running.
I wouldn't swear to it but i don't think the "black seals" that the Puerto Ricans are referring to are the "RA super seals", i may be wrong though.

Also, your last sentence was confusing. Are you saying they do or don't use the RA Super Seals?

If you are serious about your apex seals, I think the NRS guys have proven their product...
