Hector and I went to the Pan-Am Nationals at Atco Raceway yesterday. The crowd was massive! There were a lot of rotary powered Starlet's and several of which were under 8 seconds but whenever a 1st Gen pulled up to the tree the crowd literally went crazy! They all loved the 1st Gen!

 

...the announcer would ask "Who's for the pistons?!?!?!" the croud would be like "woooo" then he would ask..."Who's for the rotary?!?!?!?!" the croud would go "WOOOOOOO!" it was definately an experience

here are the shots i took from my cell...i didn't take many because it was so crouded...

 

That's awesome, with the rotaries for most people it's either they love 'em or they hate 'em, sounds like most of them loved them. What were the KP's running for a motor? PP turbo 13b's? That 1st gen at the bottom looks sick in full race *atire*.

 

if you look closely at the last pic you'll notice he's launching...i snapped the pic a little too quick because his tires were at least 6 inches off the ground...

 

ahh... thats misic to my ears

 

I am happy to see the 1st gen getting the respect they truely deserve.
Sure they weren't the fastest, but without them, the 2nd and 3rd gens couldn't have happened.......
People always ask how I like my Rotary powered car, and I tell them there is nothing like it, which is why I drive it everyday.

 

Man I didnt go due to the f-ing weather! Looks like I misses a good show! Oh well !

 

bob and i even got to see La Atrevida...13b Starlet...

Goodness that is a great picture...were there an brown rx-7's there? And if so were they cheared for? I always like to hear when people chear for the brown ones!

 

Whys that Zzzzzzz...lol Bob misses you and wishes to take a ride in your Brown car at the BBQ.

Nice pics Hector...looks like you guys had a blast.

 

I don't recall any brown ones. It didn't matter if it was a beater or a killer tricked-out drag car, if it was a 1st Gen the crowd cheared it on!

 

Damm DUDE ,,
Awesome pics , I just bought my 1st gen(85 GSL-SE 13b) . I have a long way to go getting her ready but you definatly making it worth my time and effort looking at them on a racetrack .

Great to hear. The classiscs never die.

 

i brought my cell phone and bob brought his digi cam...thing is it was SO CROWDED that we could hardly get off any good shots...unless you were walking around with a press pass... ...not the mention the heat before it started raining...uhg...it was HOT!

coolest thing was meeting the owner of rx7club.com...saddest thing was watching an rx3(or 4, not sure) warm up his tires, lose control and hit the guard rail
