got my fc this weekend, looking for some fellow rx7 owners around the northwest burbs, arlington heights, desplanes, mount prospect, shaumberg, hoffman estates, ect.


is there a meet anytime soon? if not lets get one planned out for this coming spring.

 

I'm in McHenry, but *should* be at the mazda rev it up thing at arlington racecourse this saturday. Also, organizing meets is the worst thing this area is good for. I'll keep an eye out for you, though!

 

the rx7 meets are slow to come by here.. but theres a club in the area that meets weekly thats made up of supra's, 240s, some 7s basicly any RWD/AWD japanese sports cars. its JGTCA.com, a few of us here go to the meets once and awhile.

 

this is the event where you can go and drive all their cars and some competitors' cars too? i did that with tom and ming a year or two ago and it was a ton of fun. got warned for driving too aggresively

no, that was GM thing. nevermind, i'm losing my mind.

 

You've lost your mind.

GM Autoshow In Motion

 

At Rev it Up they ENCOURAGE you to drive aggressively...

 

Just had my 2nd gen totaled by a semi coming out of the Elgin toll booth on Oct 20, 05. 90 major !@#$ toll road.

 

How do you get totalled coming OUT of a toll booth??

The thread starter's the one who lost it thinking that we're actually going to do anything.

 

once i get my TII..ill be looking forward to soem il meets too...gotta find a nice FC first though

 

daum, more il people than i was expeceting. where are the jgtca meets at?


this spring lets get something planned out.

 

yea ill be planning a meet/bbq next spring...ill keep everyone in illinois updated as to when the next dyno days and bbq are too..you can all get to baseline dyno runs for $40 with reservation and $50 walk in..all dyno runs use a wideband 02 and you recieve a printout to take home..ill let everyone know...id like to see a bunch of rotaries at the next dyno days

 

go to jgtca.com, go to the forums and look in the general meet topic. we have a few different spots, all in the NW burbs, it changes everyweek depending on how the members vote.

 

semi want my lane, so he took it. No place to go, to miss the truck, hit the construction wall back to truck.

 

i just got back from the Zoom Zoom live thing at the race track........TON OF FUN! yes they do encourage you to drive aggressively ("noisy tires are happy tires"). I only had time to do one event though and it was the RX-8 course. It was a mini instructional class and they you get in a 8 with a instructor and they give you tips to maximizing speed all while keeping it stable and getting a fast time. Too bad they only limit you to 2 laps....but the difference between my 1st lap and 2nd lap(after i got pointers) was amazing.

Its still going on today till 5:45 i think. I spotted 1 red FD, 1 10th anniversary FC, and another white FC in the parking lot

 

i was there around 3-6, the lines were HUGE, i had the fc there parked on the far side from the event by a blue 05 gto. i didnt see any other rx7s there

 

thats why you go early ;-)....i got there at about 9:30 and there were lines but nothing to even call them long
