SMS recently had some pavement work which added a few feet to the course. I've run it in a half-track, full-track, and various autocross configurations. I've only rented it as an individual and have no idea what it would cost to rent it as a group.

There is also Arroyo Seco Raceway. I've never been down there, but I hear it is much more open (no concrete walls to smash into). There's a very inexpensive race series held there throughout the year: ASR Super Lap.

In the past, it's been difficult to get a rotary-specific meet together. Perhaps we can have an initial meet at one of the various SMS racing events. In particular, the RSW DriftCross is an inexpensive event that provides plenty of track time in a part road course, part autocross configuration. If there were enough of us, we could probably get our own RX-7 run group (typically around 5 to 6 cars). The next RSW DriftCross event is June 12 from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

 

well if any one needs any parts i got a 90 gtu s5 in my drive way that i am parting out still got the n/a hood ,sunroof, doors , dash , cluster, fenders, the rear glass is still good, kouki tails with no scratches or cracks clean, ummmmm yeah i mean yeah its pretty much everything stock even got the motor with a set of 48dla sk webers blown though. the reason y gettin rid of it is becuz it has cancer in the floor boards and i simply dont have the patience to work it. i already sold all the good **** to the white fc here in clovis but there is still good stufff let. well make me an offer and u can take it out of my drive way today....

 

im down either way. hopefully i have my car back by then. im leaving the area to see family in new york but will b back by then if i have my vehicle im down for whatever

 

Well lets set a date for a get together first before we all meet at the track. I think the 12th of June would be a good day to have everyone meet up. It's after the the big weekend and some people are going to be gone for a bit, I know I am. Plus everyone should be back by then, and we can all get together and discuss a track day meet. Also after this I think a meet once a month would be a good thing and also we can help each other out with problems and stuff. What do you guys think? Now lets get a head count and a place to meet up. Also I don't know the area that well yet so people from here please help with a location.

 

well im down. **** to meet up with rotary ppl im always down i just hope that i have my fd by then. im goin away i have my grandfather in the hospital so i got to take care of that and thats the weekend i come back then make the trip to dallas to get the car so we will see if i can make it that day. if u guys do have that meet let me know when u guys decide on the track date.

 

If you've spent time at tracks like Nurburgring you are going to be HORRIBLY ..HORRIBLY.. disappointed at sandia motor speedway. But as the saying goes.. beggars can't be choosers and at least we have a road course to enjoy around here. I however wont take the risk of putting my FD on it. I would be more then happy to come watch everyone else

 

I like going to tracks and just having fun doesn't matter where or what it is. I'm kind of the same way with my FD, just really don't want to race it yet. I'm completely redoing the car so I'm not going to race it, but I will take my 86 out and I know my wife wants to take her Supra. I wish I still had my T2 that I used to race at the ring, I would race that all day.

 

Count me in.

 

hahaha man all this talk of trying to get a meet together makes me wish i had more funds to get my damn 13b swap done in my bmw lol its still going through prep work to get ready to do it lol. i ran outta funds for awhile so didnt get no work done but when it comes home ill try to get some pics of the car itself as it is now which is still fully factory with the bmw motor still in lol, im just lazy lol to get it done quickly i guess lol

 

There's a non-points SCCA event, that is happening at Sandia Motor Speedway on June 12th. Might be a good excuse for all us RX7's meeting up. The date has been set, but the other details are still being set. Should be $50 for the day. Here's where you should find more info when they get it.

Sounds good for a spot to meet, I know DaminSoul said that too. So what does everyone think for a meet. You don't have to enter just a meet. Now I know I was talking about a track day but this is not it, more of a get together and hang out. If you decide to enter go ahead we all be there to cheer you on. Is that good for everyone?

 

Sounds good to me!

 

That works for me.

 

I'll be there anyways, may as well make it an rx7 meet too! I'll see if I can get 2 of my 1st gens out there. One to run and one to show.

 

Just a heads up - I think it costs $5 for spectators to get into the track. I'll be there running.

 

Crap. I'll be on my way out of town. . .

 

yup i will jus b gettin into town hopefully the fd will b good to go for pick up

 

For the people that can't make it don't worry about it I'm going to make sure we have another meet. Right now guys I'm not sure if I'm going to make it or not so if I miss it someone try to plan for the next meet and see what people would like to do. Lets really try start a monthly thing out of this, and I will see about getting a day of racing just for the 7's somewhere. I'm sorry if you drag guys are out there since I'm a road course kind of guy, but I'm all for a meet at a drag strip. I just want to have a track day on a road course like what I used to do in Germany. Also if you know any other rotary guys invite them out too. Let's try to make this a awesome first meet.

 

Would've loved to have seen the 20B.

 

There are many ls1 7's here in town.. might want to think about including them also If the meet is at a drift event some of them will most likely be there anyways.

 

I think we need a sonic meet or something!! I'm in albuquerque, just my car is ugly haha!

 

Interesting, my car is pretty and I'm ugly.

 

^^ its alright, the car is more important!

 

lol i aint gonna lie my baby is pretty and im ugly but it balances out.
