Thanks for the Pics.

With few exceptions - Seems Nobody ever took detailed pictures of the cars, engines, and specifically - the interiors.

Almost everybody has one or two pics (tops) of a ride.

I would love to see a lot of details pics of the Red SA with the large Chrome Wheels, as well as the widebodies.

Still jazzed - first two awards I've ever gotten for hobby stuff.

For the past 5 years when I've look at pics of seven stock I've honestly thought the same thing, why aren't there more detailed pictures. Well I went to seven stock for the very first time this year and I was just amazed at all the Rx7's.

I went there with lots of space on my sd card and extra batteries, but all I did was wonder around the parking lot looking at all the rows of rx7, like a kid in a candy store. There was just simply to much to look at and not enough time in the day. I was so dazed and drooling all over the cars that I am embarrassed that I didn't introduce my self to more of the 1st gen owners that where there . Sorry I didnt get to meet a lot of you guy but I was happy to at least see your cars in person. Maybe I'll get the chance to next year.

For anyone who has never gone I suggest you make it happen, its like Disneyland for rotor heads, the greatest place on earth .

I brought spare batteries and 3 extra flash cards... and ended up taking less than 100 shots.

So many cars to look at! Squinting through a viewfinder just frequently didn't occur to me.

Call me crazy, but isn't the '79 Daytona winning car supposed to be left hand drive? I've seen that car on Speedhunters and everywhere else called the original, but the old photos show it being lhd. I read Mazda restored it in ~2000, did they make it right hand drive during that time?

i just asked myself, and the answer was long, so i need to reread it a couple of times to make sure i'm understanding it correctly.

so there were at LEAST 3 cars sent over for daytona, and the one we see was one of those.

I was under the impression all the "raced" 79 Daytona cars are long gone and that one is the promotional car. Used for ads and appearances such as perhaps at stealerships
