Hello All.

My name is Neil Wright and I live in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

After being a spectator and volunteer for many years, I decided seven years ago to buy a race car to go road racing. Didn't know anything about RX7's or rotaries, but had the opportunity to buy a rally-prepared 1986 NA... so I did. Didn't know much about rallying either, but have been rallying and road-racing an RX7 ever since. What great cars, fun to drive, fun to work on...handle as good on gravel as they do on pavement!

For a few years I actually rallied and raced the same chassis, but a few years ago caged-up a second chassis, so now one is dedicated to rally and one to road racing.

Check out my website for pics: fourpeaksracing.com.

Look forward to getting more advice and info from the site (been a quite lurker up till now). Focus for this winter is to put both cars on a diet!

Neil

 

Welcome.

Look forward to seeing some video of your exploits.

nice. the 86's are one of my favorites. and i dont know anything about rotaries. but i figured might as well learn on my 86 so when i get my 94 i know what im doin

 

Update:
Regrettably we wrote-off the rally car this season. Hit a tree so hard that we struck the engine block and one of the long bolts busted! Perhaps I shouldn't have removed the stock bumper element.

So, we are going to focus on road racing for a while. Good news is we remain a two-FC race team as I have just bought another fully caged second gen (with no drive train). I'm thinking this one I will drop a V8 into.

 

Welcome!

I havent ever seen an rx7 do rally racing or even heard anyone talk about it for that matter. I will have to see some videos to see how your car does.

 

Did you ever hit Rally America/NASA events? I assume you were running CARS?

 

welcome

 

sweet got any pics?

 

Would love to see vids of the rally stuff. We sadly have no rally scene to speak of in SC
