I had been planning on going to this for months....then my Professors decided a test and a 7-10 page paper was due.

 

Good turn out today. The UGR lambo that made 1938 hp on their dyno broke on the last run today. I thought we had to be concerned, they are traveling w/ 2 extra motors.

A couple buddies of mine and I were standing down by the car when the engine hoist was coming out and those fellas were jerks. Running everyone away like it was some top secret project and no one had security clearance. They tried to run the rental car into us to move us away. They way they acted it should break again tomorrow.

see everyone there tomorrow.

 

Man I have been wanting to do this since it started getting big. Is there and fd that are still rotary running? If so, how did/are they doing?

 

Also couple of my friends are there. One is a black shelby that had engine problems but ran 174 and the other has a black cts....should see the Mississippi plates. Really wish I was there

 

Yeah it's def worth the trip down... some real sweet cars out there.

I'll be heading down there shortly w/ a few SA guys. PM me if anyone else is going.

 

One of the lambos had a bad wreck today. flipped it end over end 5 times and the driver walked away. It was crazy. I'll post up more about it later.

 

Yeah that's nuts, so far the only pics/vid I see online(nothing amazing)... sure we will see more in the coming days. Post if you find anything.

So was there any rx7's (still rotary) there how did they do?

 

I did see a red FC that was running, I talked to the guy a few times, never got to see his runs though. Back in march on a smaller turbo and different setup, he did mid 170mph easing into it

 

Nice! So wonder why more rotarys don't do this. It's not a race and would always do well in this. Specially these supposed to be bad *** 20b swapped cars. I been wanting to go for awhile now and try it out but I can never get off work

 

was it a red FC? I heard that there is a red fc from Dallas that runs these type of events

 

yes, Red FC w/ an older gentleman driving it. I spoke w/ him breifly. It sounded like it needed a tune very bad. I wanna say he only ran 140.

 

Ouch that sucks to hear, his run this previous March was impressive on a smaller turbo. My friend snapped a picture of it as we were leaving

 

Thats what I wonder, there was a LSX FD out at the previous event that did 196mph stock body.

oh man that is my old car. it used to have S300 turbo and make 500hp. I wonder what turbo he changed to. bet it needs to tuned after changing the turbo

 

Wow small world. The owner said that he didn't know too much about it, he must have just bought it from you.

Couple shots from the March event

 

He put a new motor in it, the 196 run was with a 440 cid lsx. The new engine is a turbocharged LS3 (378 cid). During testing at Mojave they went 207 with only 4.9 psi and on the next run lost ring seal in #7, resulting crankcase pressure blew out the rear main seal. They pulled the motor and missed the Texas event.

The ring land on #5 and #7 seem to be the ones that break on the non built turbo LSX motors. Head over to the corvette forums and see how much they spend to make 550-600 at the wheels. Just goes to show that w/ FI everything can break.

 

Don't worry, Karma took care of their TT Lambo alright.

 

Yes, but I would not have wished that on anyone. It was quite scary to watch and I am glad everyone is healthy. A car can be replaced.
