trip to pick up a track FD and tested at Laguna Seca
 

I took a trip up to north cali to see a track car I was interested in buying. It was foko's car and I did end up buying it, its an awsoem machine and he is an exceptional driver. We were fortunate to time it with a Laguna Seca open track event and I got to lap LS in the car, both the car and LS were awsome...here are some pics...and as usual with me, a full video will come soon...

must be nice :)

Saw the car at rotorsports...Rx-6 single. Thought about purchasing it myself. Nice car.

yeah, I wasnt really ready to take on another car, but I decided to move on this opertunity if I am going to keep doing track events. I was a great trip, hellava car, great track, and cool people.

Thats awesome!! I wanna come! So you now have two FD's? Luck bastard. Can we see some full shots of this one? It looks sick from the cup mount pics.

yep, thats the one... :-)

thanks gt2, yes I have 2 now and the 95 mb will revert back to a 'street' only car. All that means is that Im not tracking it anymore, the mods stay :-)

here are the pics that foko posted of it:

Congrats! Sounds amazing, can't wait to see the video. Can we get some stats?

Hope to see it at MRR next year. :cool:

hey diablone,
were u at MRR this year?, I was there with my 95 mb

now i have to try to drive 2 up there next year (heheheh)...

Yea, I guess I would "settle" for that as my second car. Damn nice car my friend. I can't afford 1 RX-7 much less 2. Have fun and let me know how you like that RX6 turbo. I am thinking about putting one in mine.

hey speedracer, I will let you know how it goes...the car pulled great at LS.... it is the start of winter here in MN so i wont be able to really test it until next track season....and ill post then

Good job, damian! Congratulations! Enjoy your new track ride. You couldn't have picked a better one (you lucky bastard:) ) BTW was the Laguna event hosted by TracQuest? Todd Serota's a great guy (I'm one of his east coast instructors for Mid Ohio and Watkins Glen)!

Congratulations! your one lucky guy. Very nice pics. Can't wait to see the video.:)

When I grow up I want a CYM track car to.:D

So the 65 thousand dollar question.....How did you/he get the sparcos to fit in? From the thread in the race car section everyone says they won't fit. Now i'm completely confused! Just when i thought i decided on the Kirkey. Any info on the seats? Thanks Dave

haha...enjoy it....I will miss having a "target" to shoot for at local events...

Foko....You NEED another FD....

hey cossie,
it was good to finaly meet you there, wish i had more time there to sit around and talk fd smack.

very nice ride by the way...

Yeah but did you get gourmet food for lunch, a banquet, and wine-tasting?? :)

damian, do a TracQuest @ Mid Ohio event. I'd love to show you around the fast line with that new toy of yours :)

Hee, I was nowhere near Fabian in his FD, now....my dream of catching him will be .....*sigh*...haha

but it was always fun having a target to shoot for...

The food isnt bad...but seriously...who has time for that when all u need is unburnt gas and smack talk...:)
