Where can I race my car?

Hey everyone, I just moved to Florida a few weeks ago and was wondering if anyone could help me. I don't know anything about this state and I want to race my car, where can I race it here? I haven't had my rx7 very long and haven't raced it yet, I'm excited about racing it though because it handles like a dream.

Both, legal and illegal! Ha Ha... I live in West Palm Beach. My car hasn't had much done to it yet, I'm working on it. It is pretty much all stock right now but I'm going to put a turbo on it and change some stuff to make it faster.

nice

I wish i could help u out with your where to race question but i dont know crap about florida, lol. im sure someone on here does tho, so just wait a little bit and you get some good places.

what kind plans do u have for your car? 13B swap, porting, etc. u mentioned a turbo for the future, are u gonna go fuel injected or blow through?

also, pretty much any question you can have has been answered on this forum so if you have a problem, look no farther than rx7club.com well sometimes you can look farther if you want to, lol. nopistons.com for example

Awsome guys, thanks. I'm not really sure excatly what I am going to do with the car, my friend is actually the one who is doing the work on it. I am a girl and don't know how to do a lot of the stuff.
They have autocrosses in Pensacola you say? How far away is that from West Palm? I want to take my car on a real track too.... hell maybe one day I'll be a professional racer.

dude, if you're near Pensacola, then you're in the panhandle. West Palm is on the Atlantic coast, about 40 minutes from Miami ...

okay ... done with geography

i will assume (since you made the legal/illegal crack) you're talking about drag racing? i'm sure there are places, closer to you than Pensacola, to race. check with the Regional forums for FL ...

'85 GSL, eh? if you want to race you'd probably need to start getting yourself in there with the mechanics of the car it helps you as a driver. just some friendly advice.

oh and by the way ... welcome.

swap out the stock exhaust and front swaybar for a Racing Beat header/exhaust and horsecock swaybar... your car will go and handle far, far better
