Thanks! Sorry I couldn't give you a ride along.

Thanks again to Rich, Ron and Judy for another successful event! I hear we raised over $3000! Not to sound like a total cheese ball, but it's events like this that make me happy to be part of our community. It's great to see old friends and meet new ones as well.

Nice track videos...I didn't record anything unfortunately. Looking back I wish I had.

Thank you Rich, Joann and Barb for all your hard work in allowing the RX7 community to get together, remember Chris, and raise money for a good cause. It was great seeing everyone and getting an opportunity to get out on the track with Rich. Good to finally meet Mike. We'll be talking.
God bless and all the best to everyone.

I chose the Adaptronic because I wanted to give it to my very close friend Dave (FCinWV). It will be going in his MB 1st Gen Turbo Project car. He was completely blown away when I texted him explaining that I had an ECU for him.

Thanks to all the sponsors!! You guys really show the spirit of giving and support to the community!

Special thanks to my mother Joanne and aunt Barbara for their tireless efforts during the day, and to Ron & Karen, Judie & Zane for making the event a priority and all their support and help. Thanks go out to Mike Mauro (Mr. ZoomZoom) for his help during the day, serving as pro cameraman, and sharing his thoughts on Chris with the group.

The car show was very tough this year with many quality FDs

Here are the winners:

Best Stock FD: Marc Huether (2 Rotor) with his prisitine low mile BB R1
Best Modified FD/Performance: Garrett Taynai (G's 3rd Gen) with his high-hp SSM Base
Best Modified FD/Appearance: Josh Williams (XLR8) with his mint MB beauty
Best in Show: Shaun Wells with his super-clean Mystichrome Purple FD

Making his win even more impressive, Garrett drove all the way up from Daytona FL for the event!

I'll post more on those who tracked and give more details later in the weekend..... I'm off to NYC for a fun day with a bunch of rotary nuts

Mike, feel free to post up your awesome shots here in the thread!

P.S. My mom took an iPhone vid of all of us running the parade laps on Pocono, with some tech assistance from Mr. Frascone I hope to upload it soon

sup with that iphone vid your mom took?.....really looking forward for that one

thanks rich!

It was my first time at Pocono so I was more focused on learning the track and having a good time than lap times. I kind of regret not taking video but next time I have the chance to run at Pocono I'll definitely have video and data

It's possible a few people watching were timing though haha.

The Pocono event was hosted by an organization called TPM (or Tracktime4Cars), that runs 3 bike sessions and 1 car session per hour throughout the day. The Carlisi meet was piggybacking off this event with the option to sign up to do the trackday.

Last year's event I think was one of the best events I have ever been to. I loved the way you guys had it all set up at the track and we got to do some laps. It was really well organized, great people, great location and best part we all helped raise money for a great cause.

DJ, sorry but it's being held on the one day you didn't want it to be. Due to track day availability there wasn't any other choice.
