Anyone one Road race, Hill climbs or SCCA. there RX7's on here?

Hey I have been out of the racing for some time and getting ready for next year with a RX7 road race and Hill climbs and SCCA, in Oregon, Washington, Cal, I was a member of the EECS, and race at Portland international raceway. Just looking to see what’s new in racing for next year and in your area. Hill Climbs are what I will be doing most this next year. Never raced a RX7 yet but so far is one of my favored cars. I will be running a custom very wide aluminum body 1 gen, For the Hill Climbs will be running 16x14 front wheels and 16x17 wheels on GTU Bridgestone tires. Just hoping to beat all the times by a landslide. Oh here is a photo of my stockpile of Race tire so far. 365/30/16 or 280/600-16 FR, and 440/45/16 or 350/680-16 RR, Really like to get to know people in the biz again and make some new friends : ) it was so much fun back then. Was in a bad car crash over 3 years ago and glad that’s over with now.. Talk to you all soon

Hi and welcome. Those are some monster tires, my little 225/50/13 ITA tires are jealous. Who built the chassis? Is it an old IMSA car? Im in the SE-DIV SCCA.

No just a replica IMSA GTU car back in 1982. Still have to drive you to Seattle Washington to put it on a car hauler to bring it back home. Defiantly after Thanksgiving and all of these birthdays are family has right now : ) the car is just a shell right now.
Similar to this 1979 and 1982 IMSA Mazda RX7.

I love road racing.

auto cross is very cool but it just doesnt have the high speed that I crave.

My car is mainly a street car, but I have gone hardcore on the cooling, intercooling and oil cooling on the engine.

I plan to race in the Targa Newfoundland in a few years when the car is ready to race. Its about as close as you can get to legal street racing.
