Welcome to the forum Jeremy. I'll add the FB page tomorrow.

yeah I got me an S5.

I don't have a facebook so just text me 340-8070

Anyone have experience doing the "Cars and Coffee" out at Sandia speedway? Any good?

Thinking about going on Aug 4th. $50 to run from 8am-12pm seems pretty reasonable.

track events
 

They are all pretty much the same events: Drivers Club, Miata racing, Cars and Coffee..etc......they are fun you run usually 15 min sessions and the different car groups rotate.....definitely a good place to tune and test you car :icon_tup:

I plan to take the FD out when i get the Apexi N1's and Bonez DP from David

How many people usually? Don't really need to T&T, just want to drive a bunch!

I hear you, you'll get more track time there than the autox (which is still fun to do ;) ) i've seen 10 to 50 cars there just depends which one you pick I personally like the driver club and swms (but you need complete the car classes for the swms one)

I used to go to cars and coffee all the time. Most of the time not too many people show up so everyone is out on the track. Twice I have gone in the morning and by 11:00 everyone left and I had the track to myself. Lots of fun then, and I had the whole track to myself. I did the short course then oval and anyway I wanted. Just talk to the people there and if your all alone you can do what you want. I would love to go again but the FD is down. Just a word of advise take a tire temp gauge and watch your front right tire. If you are going all out you may want to rotate your tire front to back. i would almost kill a tire if I didn't rotate it halfway through the day. Have fun. I'll go if you guys want to make a small rx7 meet out of it, just won't be racing.

Not 100% sure I am going, I'll let you know when I decide.

It'd be amazing if we could reserve the track for a day, itd be so awesome seeing nothing but rotaries run the track!

yeah sandia is notorious for right tire wear 8 left turns and 3 rights bruta, that is why you should run hard compund tires on your right side and soft on the left for cornering advantage l! :egrin:

we should plan one for like October to give folks time to setup and plan :nod:

I would def come by. That would give me time to indeed, plan.

MOMO pedals, I was looking and some are super sweet. I know its an Italian comp. Will the japanese gods of yesteryear look down upon me?

I can make it happen for sure. I know the owners of the track well. Once you get the date set I will ask.

I use a Momo steering wheel and a Momo shift knob.

This would definitely be nice to attend. I'm pretty sure I won't have anything put together this year though. Perhaps I'll start a local build thread to document what I'm working on.

I went to Sandia in December when it was nice and clear and there was 0 other people the whole time. Best part was that it was like 45 degrees out so it was a lot easier to keep her running cool ;)

From a shell to running vehicle in 8 months! Fired her up Friday and made it to Desert Fest on Saturday.

Excuse my whack wheels/fitment. I plan to get some new wheels soon.

very nice!! congrats:icon_tup:!!!!

Looks good man! Glad you get her up and running :icon_tup:
The wheels could be way worse haha. If they were lower offset I honestly think they would look pretty good.

+1; your FD looks great.

Looking good. I love FDs

Nice

Some fc love from drift practice. Needs new front fenders to fit any decent wheels up front.

I think i bugged the shit out of my buddy because every time he/you went out i whined about how much i wanted a wing like that...
