Update:
This is going to sell out, guaranteed. People that I have no idea where they heard about it are signing up. 40 in the last 14 days.
Im not doing the salesman thing, I just want to see the RX7Club guys who want to drive, get signed up!

What's the policy on guests attending? Can someone drive separate from me and watch?

Anyone who is driving can bring guests, also anyone who mentions RX7Club will be welcome!

Now to get my hands on some AD08s, brakes, tow hooks, and racing gear. So excited! I'm glad I finally have a good excuse to get rid of my monstrous Escta Supras.

Has anyone looked into or found a good deal on a hotel in the area? Anyone interested in splitting a room (with me and possibly some friends on the floor)?

^I got an e-mail regarding the event. There were 2 hotels in the area that said they had worked out a deal for us. I gotta see if a friend wants to go, otherwise I'll be interested in sharing a room for Friday night also.

I have a set of 16" BF Goodrich R1's if anyone is interested. Not very wide, but way stickier than any street tire.

Hey everyone, this may be a stupid question, but i'm figured i'd better check.

I have toyo R888's on the back because i got a crazy good deal on the size for the year (someone had mounted them, then sold their rims and they didnt fit their new rims). But my fronts are a different brand.

Now this is my first event, so i probably won't be able to drive the car to its limits (obviously), so will i be ok with different tires on the front than the rear?

I can't believe I'm missing this, it's basically an RX-7 track day. So disappointing.

If you have street tires up front you are going to get some serious understeer. What are the other tires?

Anyone interested in sharing a room? I haven't booked on yet (I hope they are still available). I am going to be driving up friday and staying over that night. At least that is the plan.
