A Few Words From Kenneth:
The blue streak has been broken!!! ...By Supramania RED!
I am honored to follow Kwnate, it was a long 2 months wait. Congrats to all the runners up, there were some very nice looking cars, and drivers. I have been a member at the other forums for a few years, and became active here at Supramania over the summer.....I feel so much more at home here, you guys are a great bunch. I'd like to thank the SM staff for running a great site here.....Id like to thank all you guys out there with the great engine setups for the inspiration, all the informative people on this site who take the time to share their info and ideas, and all of you who hooked me up with or pointed me toward the things i needed. I would especially like to thank DrJ, turboBob, Mike Malloy for all the help working together to get the MaftPro where it is now. I spent alot of time quizzing back and forth with these guys, and it was nice to see everyone wanting to see each other succeed with it. I think I have spent even more time trying to pass that knowledge on to others! I am looking forward to pushing the limits even further with the Pro, 7MGTE and A340E.
Let the thread Begin!
Of course Ken can not forget about the one person that has been supporting him through all of this. This is what he had to say.
a huge thanks for my fiancee Janet who supports me all the way with the Supras, and never complains about a thing , she is the bomb.
That is all.
Thanks...Ken

Stock, the car likes it and so does the track, it will stay that way until I cant hook up!

Some Future Plans:
The car has never been in an accident, and the original paint is in decent condition, It was chalky almost orange when I bought it, it took a lot of buffing to bring the red back.
I have original Bomex side skirts which will be moulded to the body, and a Kaminari rear bumper that will be installed in the spring. Then the car will be completely repainted. With any luck.....a carbonfibrefx hood and lights.

A Brief from Ken on his ROTM Entry:
My journey....well...I got divorced 3 ½ years ago, lost my truck and had to part out my 88 supra to survive. Fortunately, I kept my house and my son. I was in need of a vehicle, and I found the Red Rocket on ebay. I borrowed a truck and trailer and made an 8 hour round trip with my son to St.Louis, where I saved the car from the wrecking yard /impound where it was sitting. The body was good, but the car was in miserable condition. Everything that belonged under the hood, except the short block, was stuffed in the trunk. I dropped the long block from my old 88 in it to use the car for d.d. Over the next couple years I built the original motor, and built the original a340e for serious HP. Performance has always come first, I don’t believe in having a pretty car that takes regular ass whoopins from Hondas or Mustangs. Fast forward to present day.....thanks to having a very understanding and supportive woman in my life, I spent the summer under the hood painting and polishing, and body work will be done over the winter, painted in time for Spring. My 16 year old son often reminds me the Supra will be his in the will, I tell him it will be stored until he is 35 if I die so he wont kill himself. The truth is I figure that gives me 19 years before he’s considering foul play. I just bought the future wife an 88 Turbo, so Supramania will be seeing plenty of us for years to come.
Why I deserve ROTM.....#1-My car is Supramania Red!! I built the original 7mgte and the original a340e, and got 500 RWHP out of them......and ....its no eye sore!
I hope everyone has a Chance to Congratulate Ken on his Spectacular effort with his car.
