Nope, anything goes in a "production vehicle" on DOTs. So, the chevy powered honda is fine.

LOL

I'd be worrying about the NSX, not me. 500+ hp.

BTW I could make a reliable 450rwhp if I wanted to spend the money for a built bottom end. Which I don't.

I think the 450rwhp might not last a season. It didnt for PD Cunningham in his supercharged WCGT NSX, who's monster did have an engine change about mid season. I think it will take a season for that NSX to get into the low 1:30s at laguna, unless Kip is driving.

Of course kip is driving. It's kips car. (red nsx) It was at the test day.

500+ hp. He did a :56 in traffic at thill at the free test day.

 

Well, then that is a different story. I guess he will be beating up on the NASCAR powered mustang then.

Is he running the entire ITE season?

What about that 700hp 350z. (The tech helper for Michelle Nagi's Soutwest Touring car). That kid can drive and had sponsors lined up for the '09 season.

mk

 

yup. Glad I won in 08 when it was doable. Kip plans to run the whole season.

We'll see who shows up tho. As you know by now there are always big stories in the winter and few seem to show up. I've heard about that 350Z for at least 2 years now. Kip on the other hand has the car, its built and running.

It's like 06 all over again

 

Wow, didnt think he was planning on doing the entire season. Wasnt that his street car?
Anyway, if kip has the resources of Kent ('06) then, I guess he can buy himself a championship too!

Ill probably have to have Anderson and his white 928 come up for one of the events at Laguna and give him a race.

mk

 

yup it was his "street" car. but far from a daily driver.

What a nut! SCCA PRO RACING safety specs, 650hp, $$$$$$, for ITE?
Why? There we go again, someone just buying a championship. Knock yourself out in Super Production, where it will run too, but ITE??? makes no sense to me. There might be a rule change coming in ITE based on our discussions, limiting transmissions to factory models. What does this thing run for a gear box?

did you guys check out the chassis after it was stripped?? 200+ lbs! At a final weight of 2400lbs, and all that power, it may only be limited by driver and tires. tires look pretty small for so much power.

shad told me 530hp. is 750 one of your flywheel numbers?

 

Sorry, I ment 650 flywheel (623 at 15% drivetrain losses. I just rounded up for effect. )

mk

 

you're hopeless.

 

Youre in trouble.

why? your reading skills must suck as much as your math/hp skills

I already won my championship. If were back to racing for 2nd place, so be it.
