But enough about the Scoot car, that thing's a piece of crap next to DannyMac & Dr. Rich's rides!

I'm not sure who organized it to be honest, Rich signed me up. Fabspeed sponsored the event that's all I know.
If by similar you mean they're both Rx-7's, then yes they are haha. Scoot does make a front bumper, which is what the Tamon design kit is based off. Also the Scoot car runs a Scoot hood..

Btw guys, I didn't post this before..... but my new OS Giken-stuffed stock trans was giving me issues from the get-go.
Second session, as soon as the trans got hot--- imagine, you're flying down a short straight in 3rd gear, right foot to the floor, staying on line and anticipating the braking zone, some Porsche track car on your tail....... and at about 6000 rpm, you hear a faint 'pop,' and you're bouncing off the rev limiter. Yup, the shifter just moved into neutral. On a track like Thunderbolt at NJMSP, you kinda need 3rd gear, and in a rotary, you need all of it.
Anyway, I still managed to drive around it, short shifting at 5500 and using 4th gear more than i wanted to. Still laid a hurting down on 95% of the cars out there
The trans came out the day after the event, and the day after that it was at the trans shop to be torn down. It's possible I provided an inop trans, as it was a spare we had sitting on the shelf from the Gotham days.
