Piston vs. Rotor West Coast Style
 
ok so in the works i have a class being arranged to have a piston vs rotor at the upcoming IFO event in fontana.
I spoke directly with the owner of IFO and he gave me the go ahead with it.
i will set up the class and the cash purse.
so basically it will be a run what you got set up.
i dont care if your 1/2 or 3/4 chassis
i dont care if your on a standard transmission or g force/jerico
i dont care if your on alky or gas
if you pass tech your good to go

Shouldn't it be~ fastest Rotor qualifier would pair up vs the slowest piston qualifier & vice verse?? Final should always be the 2 fastest cars of the division, there has to be @ least 1 qualifing pass to test n tune for the track.... Just sayin'

S@nt0s 09-07-11 01:15 PM

There will be 3 rounds of qualifying
The for sure thing will be each race will be a piston vs rotor regardless just need to sort it all out and have enough entrees

REPU_74 10-12-11 12:50 AM

Sounds like theres gonna be two seperate events back to back this weekend at fontana????

teddyrx2 10-12-11 02:18 AM

October 15th or the 16th? I wanna come watch this.

S@nt0s 10-12-11 10:36 AM

I don't understand how there can be hundreds of built rotaries at seven stock and local car shows and 2 cars on race day:icon_tdow

Wheres all the so-cal rotary shops and engine builders at? What about all the running race cars sitting in garages? FAIL!

The pist-on guys have been working on their cars for the event, I read allot hype when the challenged came up and now what? good luck to rotaries racing.

teddyrx2 10-12-11 08:23 PM

teddyrx2 10-14-11 01:53 AM

thank you for the response, took long enough. At this point I'm just going to watch the hondas santos, and whatever other cars show up will just be a plus.

Ya Joe's car was straight as if it was on rails. Did Santo muster any better time than the 9's?
I know he ran 5.75 on an 1/8th. But the full 1/4 mile still differ than 1/8th. But all in all everyone ran good.. Congrats..

Lol I wouldn't say all that we took home the quick class again that's 2 in the bucket this year.

We fought traction issues all day long we took power away and more power away. Spinning all of 1st 2nd and 3rd. Best 1/8th mile was a 6.4 so we are well behind on the curve. But we still pulled a 9.8 and 9.9 and the win so we are happy. Car weighs in at 2585lbs lol

Jose contests on the 8.8 it's about time papa and props to jay to battle it out with the all motor pros

turbo_dave 10-17-11 10:34 AM

Any videos?

61620B 10-17-11 10:55 AM

It was a great weekend.....we had a ton of supporters on both side of the lines.Great food and racing was the best.Congrats on joe,jay, and santos for the good passes and santos for beating the hondas.

I'll be there, where's the Starlet? :)
Where's all the all motor Toyotas? Oh my bad I forgot Toyota piston engines need 60+ lbs of boost to go anywhere. LOL

61620B 11-03-11 01:20 AM

too bad irwindale has one good lane there would of been some good matches and see who can get out the line faster.

S@nt0s 11-03-11 10:43 AM

Starlet I think is rebuilding the motor. It happens when you run a stock motor lol
The all motor footage are pro and you can hang with them jay it's ok we all don't need 60psi. Lol

ultimatejay 11-03-11 11:20 AM

This is how it will go down between Santos vs Joe lol

Stock motors? That's all we have to use, guess it's a good thing Mazda makes some good OEM stuff!

Hehe, I'll go back under my bridge now. But in all seriousness, it's nice to see some friendly competition on the board, pushing everyone to bring their A-Game. Keep it up all you playas on the West Coast.
