i may go to pungo on sept3rd if i am off or dont have school (i will call out of work to go race anyday) what do i need to put for car class if i can go. i would most likely be running my auto 97 accord or can i just put unknown. also what should i put for group.

 

Put unknown for now.. they will take care of it when you are there. You will need what seems like an extreme amount of air pressure in your tires (front especially). Listen to someone who suggests this to you....

To find out more about local autocrosses, check out

http://www.autocross.us/forums/

There are links there to all of info for all of the local autocrosses, as well as a section called "new to autocross". Ask in the "new" section what air pressures you should run on you Accord (list tire size, rim size, brand, and any mods you might have done) and someone will have some good advice for your first event.

 

in the new to autocross section, there are also some things for helping you figure out what class your car is supposed to run in. There is also a first timer FAQ in there somewhere, but I don't rememebr where right now.

 

thanks for the info Calvin.

Yeah, I heard about that yesterday on the first gen mail list. People on the first gen list said that the replace rather than fix basically stood true on rotary engines since the late 70's. It was only in the early days that the dealer were supposed to do internal repairs. It seems that most recalls are what became Mazda rebuilts as they were all shipped to some rebuild center somewhere when replaced.

 

and i have to have class the night a rotary will be on the track. good luck out there.

 

I replaced the clutch master cylinder today on my 83 FB and took it out for a drive. Its running good, but hard to get used to it after driving a single turbo FD. I will take it to Langey Wednesday night and run it.

I may have to recharge the AC before the race, it gets hot with the windows up

 

why not race the single fd?

 

We are talking about the Wednesday Night things at Langley.

 

guys anyone know where i can get a fb for cheap that runs?? like 500 bucks range? or not running, my dad sill wants one cause he likes the fb

 

There is one for 600 .00 over here on rt 17 . Rich was going to buy it before he got the other one .

 

you can probably talk that guy down another 100 bux.

 

There was someone at the meet at Awful's who had a running 83 (I think) GS for $500. I am trying to remember who it was.

 

Its was me. I told Monty about that one and I didn't think he was interested it. If you are, Monty, call me.

 

Who is going to make it out to Langley Tomm night ????

I'm still trying to make it , but I got myself into trouble with the wife tonight ( im no help with the new baby ) Damn women

hahahaha

keeping my fingers crossed

I'm interested in coming out if anyone else is going. Not running though. My car is too pretty and my skills suck. But I'm always up for watching/hanging out with fellow rotary folks. Anyone interested in meeting up at jenro's or something this sat? I missed the last meet that I really wanted to go to, and was thinking of heading out there. don't care if I'm bymyself. I'll just bring the girl and be ok if thats the case.

thanks again monty on fuel filter. He does good work.

 

Here is a list of who is always out there

Randy
Matt
Shawn
Mike -most of the time
Rich - should be racing
me - hopefully racing

Oh by the way Ren , I dont have any clear candy green , but i can if needed to ????

 

From where in Eastern Europe?

 

I am 99% sure I will not be at Langley tonite. I need the mental relaxation, but too many things going on.
