i stayed up late as hell to watch that race, it was so intense. Their was even an s14 but the guy spun out early on

[civics91]

got to love nissan power

[CraigB]

And they are SOHC too...

[912.0turbo]

They also had a 350z with a SOHC from some school in cali.

[Hijacker]

which raceway was this? i assume we're talking about the speed channel's SCCA marathon at Mid-Ohio.

[240sxin]

thats got to make you proud to own a 240 , sure as hell made me happy to see em win.

[Megaseth]

were the KAs turbo or NA. that guy in the rwd celica was doing pretty well, but he had to stop or something.

[912.0turbo]

I think he spun out like close to the last turn .I think they were NA,at least the 350z was.

[Camel]

When was this on? Are there any replays scheduled?

[spitz7985]

why the SOHC over the dual?

hey camel, which do you like better, the s14 or s13?

[MainEvent212]

why a KA24E in a 350Z?

:fruity

[912.0turbo]

Dont know but I do agree it was stupid.

[r34 gtr]

ive been to many of those races. gt1-5, spec racer ford, star mazda, spec miata, american sedan, etc. all race on the same weekends. the gt3 races look so pitiful in comparison to the gt1 cars. ive talked to most of the 240sx guys and always root for them

They are all using non EFI KA24s ... EFI isn't allowed thus the VQ35DE and KA24DE aren't allowed.

It's a KA24E ---> KA24i

[Megaseth]

so...what class allows EFI, like, just basically semi stock cars from the street.

and thats pretty cool about the KA24i engines. i'd like to see a built up ITB'd engine. pretty neato-mesquito

[D1SR240]

was this on the speed channel?

[Altiman94]

^yeah it was. I had seen the same race prior to that viewing. Was very sweet though. Gotta love the sohc

[D1SR240]

oh, do they still show the JGTC on the speed channel?

[Nismo_Freak]

Haven't seen the JGTC yet, but they do show DTM and other forms of foreign racing.

[Megaseth]

JGTC came on like a few weekends ago. i dont think its on anymore.

[TBreu007]

so...what class allows EFI, like, just basically semi stock cars from the street.

For national classes: E ProductionEP cars are street cars that have been modified for racing with full cages, modified suspension points and lightened body panels. The motors can be fully modified as well (pretty much the sky's the limit)For regional classes: Improved Touring "S" and Improved touring "A" (ITS and ITA)Improved touring S cars are the 16 valve cars (91-on) ITA cars are the single cam 12 valve cars (89-90).IT cars can be basically street cars with a cage and racing seat. Modifications are limited to balance and blueprint of the engine, changing suspension, add header, change computer, etc. Body panels and brake sizes have to to remain stock.

why a KA24E in a 350Z?

:fruity

probably because the vq (or a carb'd version of it) is too heavy and the 4cyl is capable of the desired hp.

[Megaseth]

yeah, that wasnt fully a Z, it was more of just a shell. they stripped it down to almost nothing.
