Rau just ran 7.00

[Hazard]

Im at NOPI @ norwalk, rau just pulled a 7.00 in qualifying!! I have video of the pass from my spot in the pits

SoOoooo close to a 6 second 4g63

shep blew out a rear end on his first pass..

ill try to find a place to host the video but the wifi here is kinda shoddy

 

[Hazard]

make that 6.97!!!

4g63 in the 6's!

 

[CanadianTSi]

Insane !!!!

That is nuts!! I was just reading HotRod mag and they have an article about the first ls1 in the 6's. Thats amazing to run 6's with half the cylinders, less than half the displacement, and one less turbo.

I saw that article and If i remeber right that car still wasn't in the 6's yet either and its best time was 7.1. Though it was expected to get there soon.

Plus most of the fast ls1's aren't even "real" ls1's found in the factory car. There usually aftermarket iron blocks, not aluminum like from the factory. DSM power

holy shit he's only 1.5 mph away from 200 mph. hes 7 mph faster than the next closest guy. F*ckin congrats brent!!!

 

[StreetThisDSM]

Um.......ya.......that is f'n fast!

 

[Hazard]

sorry i haven't posted the video, im pretty far away from the tower where my rv is parked so myconnection is shoddy at best

unfortunately i dont think shep made it in for tomorrow's event, he broke twice in qualifing and didn't attempt a third that i saw

he's running stock rear ends that what he is doing to break rear ends like that. Man dsms are going huge leaps this year it can only get better next year.

6 sec passes on the 4G63 is just awesome. Big congrats to Rau and his team.
It's amazing on what some can accomplish on such an old design. I wonder how far Brent will take it.....

 

[Thomas91169]

holy shit, and i bragged about shep enough to my freinds, theyre gonna hate me now.

the 4g63 in the 6's, thats just ####ing amazing. i cant even reach down my pants and scratch my bawls in 6 seconds, and rau is already popping off a quarter mile at 200.

 

[RyanTSi]

Thats amazing. A 4G63 breaking 6's? Holy crap! Its wonderful to have a 4 banger that pisses on 8 cyl motors. 6 secs.... .... ridiculous.

They are allowed to run nitrous, he just chooses not to. They all run straight methanol though which is what makes the lack of nitrous not as big of a deal.

This is correct. The rulebook allows Nitrous.

Congratulations to Brent... Did anyone notice how far he carried the front tires on that video???? Unbelievable! Incredible!

Good thing he doesn't have torque steer.

I was going to post my video from the RV at the track, but the wifi at the tower was pretty much useless at my position at the finish line

great time at nopi, sucks that shep broke but had a good time hanging out with him and the showdown crew saturday night (they managed to pull a 157 trap sunday)


i think brent is moving on after this season to a different team. nice to see him put a 4g into the 6's though. just ####ing amazing seeing him put the stick to the 2jz's
