sounds good, the reason i am doing this though is so i can start to put together something for us. Either meets, or a drive this summer. I can't do much now being in Iraq but should be home next week. either way here's my email to all that are interested. Ben supermunn5@yahoo.com.

lol, for the guys up in plattsburgh I would agree that binghamton isnt lookin' too much like upstate. I went to school in VT, UVM in burlington, I like the mountains of upstate because its beautiful and there are some amazing roads up there too.
I'm over in rochester and you should let me know if youre having any meets close to central NY since there are four of us in rochester with ls1-fc's that would love to come out to play. I dont think they still have autox's more up north at Rome... the realtor sold the property... I think... but we can meet up with you guys at a CNY-autocross in Syracuse during the springtime.

Im in Rochester too, don't know if you guys consider it as 'upstate' tho. FC's with ls1's huh.... interesting. Maybe we'll see each other on the street sometimes when the snow melts away in spring.

cool, I guess there will be a pretty big group of FC's in Rochester this year and we should get together at an autocross or carshow sometime after the snow melts. dont mind the LS1's, its not like we dumped in a 1000 pound ironblock v8 from the sixties... the LS1 is really compact and the 4 of us with LS1FC's in Rochester are all autocrossers/roadracers... we're not into drag much (even though the LS1FC's haul some serious ***).

driFDer, i've been wondering if u were the guy i met. Its broken in, but I've been having BAC valve problems which has limited drivability.
owen-count me in for anything after the snow melts, or even before.

Hi i live in syracuse and that is upstate ny. My boy has a fd and i have a fc TII. The fd is a beast, i just pick up the TII & it is stock for now. It will be great to get together this summer. Were going to rotary revolution this year again we went last year. You guys should look into it, it be fun if we had a bunch of guys from upstate or anywhere in N.Y. driving to Indianapolis. Its a great time. Check out rotary revolution site. Tony

Who went driving today!? I can't believe how warm it was...and I'd forgotten how well the 7 runs when its above freezing outside. If only it would last; I'm ready to shed the snow tires and put the advans back on for a day.

Hey- If you're 10 miles north of NYC you're an Upstater. I'm from Central NY and I always tell people I'm from Upsate NY so they know I'm not from NYC. Been driving RX7s since 1992. Several FCs, now a 94 PEP.
