Hey everyone! My name is Pete, and I don't own an RX-7 (almost bought one, but ended up with a TTZ instead), but I've talked to a couple of you before at other meets and a track day or two... Thought you guys might be interested in coming to a cruise that the local Z Club is hosting on October 29th.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 29th. The local Heart of America Z Car Club will be hosting a "Drive in the Country" Cruise on the 29th. It is not exclusive to Z cars. We will be sending out invites to the local NICO (Nissan / Infiniti Car Owners) Club, the painfully inactive KC MR2 Club, the local NSX Club, RX-7 Club (that's you ), and possibly some Elises, Corvettes, etc. We're hoping for a large tunout of all kinds of sports cars!

That is also the first day back on Standard time - turn your clocks BACK one hour on Saturday night the 28th of October. More info to follow after the route has been driven (to be accomplished this Sunday). Once this is done, the meeting place and time will be posted. The route should involve plenty of twisties, and possibly a tour of an old, closed racetrack (if we are allowed access to it). It should be a great time!


We will meet at 9:00 am on Sunday, 10/29 at the Red Robin parking lot on the North side of Highway 40, just East of I-470. Route directions will be handed out and cars can get under way around 9:30. This is NOT a Race or Rally, just a drive in the country on some twisty, curvy roads with some straights thrown in. Only directions to follow, no questions to answer. May need a navigator with you and a working odometer or trip odometer. This may be one of the last events of the year for people to get involved in before the weather forces many of us to put our obsessions back into the garage to hibernate for the winter!

Hope to see many of you there!

 

Bump. No interest in this? Where's the KC RX-7 Club?

 

KC 7 club has been down for quite some time.


I'm interested though.

Do you have a thread on www.kcsr.org yet ? You'll probably get a good turn out from that crowd.

 

Yeah, unfortunately, my bro posted it on kcsr... I was kind of hoping he wouldn't, though. I honestly didn't want any of the ricerkids on there to know about this meet. Cat's out of the bag now, though. Hopefully none of them show.

 

Bump. Only two RX-7s have shown interest in coming out... one of them from Omaha, NE, and the other out in Lawrence, KS.

 

try posting up on www.kcda-online.com
no ricers, and it's a pretty tight community, and we drift so twistys would def. be welcomed

 

Well, my RX7 is still on jackstands. Depending on what I have going on around that time, I might be able to swing out in the M3.

 

The "nig" in your screen name offends me.

 

I'm offended that you took offense to that.

I'd love to bring my 7 out but it has this funny problem where it runs like **** if I get into boost and since I imagine we'll be driving at a brisk pace, I doubt I'll be able to make it. Good luck with the drive though.

 

i'll be there and i know of acouple dsm guys that are goin come too

 

posted the info up on kcda, hope you don't mind

there should be a pretty decent turnout [some s13 coupes/hatches, s14s, rx7s, z33, maybe even a rotary ae86 ]

 

As long as they don't try to get all dorifto-tyte, I don't mind them being there. However, if some tard slides his car into a pole, I'm going to be a very unhappy guy.

No offense to you, but it just seems that the general consensus with the "drifting" crowd is that they tend to crash a lot and look retarded. That may not be the case with that forum, and I may just be a stereotypical *******, but I just don't want anyone to wreck on a cruise my pops planned--nor do I want anyone else's vehicle in danger.

Kyle, we'd love to see you out in the M. Convince Art to bring out the FD or the Esprit too. Speaking of which, how's your shoulder? (At least I think it was your shoulder... Sorry. Been a long time since I talked to ya. )

And about the "nig" in my name... I hope you're kidding because that's ridiculous.

 

nah, these guys are mature about drifting and they'd never put other cars or their own in danger on public roads...so you can rest easy bro

 

So where exactly do these guys drift in Kansas City if they don't do it on the streets? Autocross coordinaters hate drifters and last time I checked, we don't have any drift competitions... Just out of curiosity. Like I said, I don't mind if you guys come along... as long as you don't try to slide every corner.

See you guys there!

 

the guy that started kcda is actually in the works of setting up a meet sometime this spring

we usually go down to st. louis for midnight madness tho

 

I would be in except for the fact that all us rx7 guys would have to stop every 120 miles for gas

 

lol! You guys would get a copy of the directions at the start of the cruise...

 

Then these will probably wreck your day.

But back to the topic:
Still hoping to make it down for this.

 

maybe

 

I'm hoping you make it as well... I've seen your FD in several pics from ZoNE meets. She looks really good! FD's are always nice to look at and they make a lovely noise.

 

Any pics from the event?
