The imports tend to make a later arrival ;-) I think we should have 4-6 FD's out there (between 7-8pm is my guess) pending good weather this week which is looking great as of now...

6pm...? most of us have to go home to pick up the RX7's. That early and your just with the retired guys w/o anyhting to do

For this early in the season we are having very good turn outs. Last week was a little lite we just had three FD's . You know I have to show off my stock wheels ,they will be gone very soon. I will stop tomorrow, but they are calling for thunder showers after 6pm.

Hey all I'll try to make it in my new red FD. (I went there in a Toyota Rav4 last week, lol) I'm new to the RX7 crowd so I guess I'll just look around until I see your cars and go say hi if that's cool.

That sounds great...you should definitely bring your FD if possible. Like I mentioned earlier I will probably get there around 645-7pm once I drop off the TL and get the FD out...hope to see ya out there. We ususally park a few rows in from chick fil a towards the middle of the row .

PS: I think Rob aka "Wanklin" on the forum will be stopping by as well

Definitely nice to meet you Doug! For those who missed it we had 8 fd's (5 VR's, 2 SSM, and the lone Chaste White!) I know there are still a couple fd's who are very close to being ready so I think in the next month we will be in the 12-14 range which will be awesome.

Figures, 8 FDs on the night I can't make it. Hopefully next week we'll have as many. I plan to be there.

I'm really hoping I can make it out next week. Got the turbo back and just buttoning her back up. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Wow, 8 FDs! I don't think I ever saw that many last summer.

Nice to catch up with all you guys. Funny we had so many FD's this early in the year. The summer should be interesting I know of three other FD's and several heavily modified FC's that should be showing up soon. Not to mention a few nice FB's .

But in all a great showing for just a local weekly gathering , props to the guys in VA!

I know a few owners that saved some headaches and $$ sharing experiences with guys that have done alot with the cars. We did have a nice cross section of cars, single turbos, modified stocks, bone stock and even that LS1. Very cool

Nuvo, who's red FD is that next to yours!? Looks like I may have to step up my efforts after seeing that one.

That would be Turb0x2, and yes his FD is sweet..single turbo w/v-mount .

Anyone know the local guy with the sliver FD, Scoot hood ? I know Mr Spoiler did his car last year. We need to get that out here also.

I didn't know Nick had a VR FD. I had thought it was a CYM. He must be trying to follow in my footsteps. Yeah right.

I've talked to the guy with the silver FD on this forum, so I'll drop him a PM to see if he'll come out this Friday.

Yea, 100% chance of rain tomorrow, but it looks like it'll be tapering off to only 30% chance by 5pm and partly sunny by 7pm. I'm going to play it by ear and come out if the rain stops.

haha...this we do know...which also means you won't be there...in the FD that is ;-) If the pavement isn't dry I won't be there in the FD, but it does look as if its going to be clear come tomorrow evening.
