3rd Generation Specific Forum Veterans?

Just wanted to say hello. It has been a while since I posted in here. I see dgeesman has been made a moderator so I know you guys have been in good hands. I have been working in Columbia SC for over a year and have been commuting every weekend between there and my home in Knoxville. I hardly have time to drive the RX-7 anymore or even check out this forum other than to check PMs real quick. I take it out to autocrosses on occasion and hopefully I will get to this sunday. Here is a pic of me tearing it up:



My family and I are about to move to a house in Columbia in mid-May so hopefully I can devote some more time to the car. I need to do some minor maintentance and fix my damn gas gauge. Anyway just wanted to see if any of the old school guys like DamonB, Goodfella, etc. are still around.

If I were you, I'd be going to Columbia by way of Rt 128(?) - whatever it is that does Tail of the Dragon. Nice that you're checking in.

Rynberg is the other active moderator, BTW. I'm the talkative one and he's the smart one

129 is a little out of the way. I have another secret road that I take on occasion. It is not quite as curvy, but the elevation changes more than make up for it.

Good to see a lot of you guys are still around. Where is Jimlab? Did he finish his car yet?


Some SCCA auto-x:

(sorry for the size of this one)



SVT Cobra Club event at a banked oval:




and a few of the daily beater:

LOL Jim essentially stopped posting (aka terrorizing lol) on the general forum not too long ago... 6 - 8 months maybe? He does, however, still update his almost 5 year, now 271-page thread chronicling the progress of his car: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=135921 I haven't been following, but I heard rumors that he just ditched his motor to drop in an LS-7

A few people have taken shots at me here. Does that make me a veteran?

Good to see you, Rated R1! I've been here since 2000 and remember a lot of your posts. Cool to see you tearing up the autocross scene. Nice cars you've got there!

Actually I think you bought some fans and fan motors from me waaayyy back when we were both noobs. Adam C, you are definitely a vet. Who the hell is LUPE? Are you related to Gargamel or that Don't_be_a_rikki guy?

Hey Tyler, good to see you are still alive. The CCW's look good on your car. Try to make it out this way if you get a chance before you move.

Our last event I was pulling third gear and beat up on the shifter cart .

Take care,
Dan

I think you may be missing a few other aliases in there.

Hell yeah!! Way to beat up on that shifter cart. I'll actually be heading that way over Easter. Unfortunately, I have to go visit the in-laws in Hendersonville.
