I got new front tires as soon as I got home from DGRR last year. HAHA. That was kind of scary!

Please come by and introduce yourself if you make it out. Thanks for the offer but it is hard to go that far and not get some FD seat time. Look forward to meeting you.

Not particularly proud of the street racing but this gives you a feel for the car.

Donation made in support of a club member.

Now, let's see some more members show their support !

While most of us will never build a true challenger for an event like this, we can each add our small token of support and in that way, partake in gently reminding others of the fear they should feel when they hear a rotary in full song.

Give em hell !

Man you guys are awesome. If the people that contributed would pm me their cell numbers, I will have my brother (who will be with me) text updates and pics from the event. That can be another way you can be closer to the event.
I took my car to the dyno and did a few short pulls (only to about 6k) just to re-verify the tune and boost with a high flow cat. Everthing looked goo, my wide band agreed with their and didn't touch a thing. Also did a few road test today at higher rpm. With the new tires, 2 of us had to sit in the hatch and it still spun some. The dyno at the event is a dynapak so wheel spin won't be a problem.

Anyway, we are leaving Tuesday afternoon. Again, I've been blown away by people's generosity. I really appreciate it. I will do my best to represent the rotary. We know going out there that we'll have the best looking car! Can't beat an FD. Then we'll show'em we got the "go" to go with the "show".
