represented the rx7's well at porsche autocross

They lump all non-Porsches into class X. XS is for stockers, and XM is for modified cars. So I was in XM.

I think I came in 1st in my class, and 3 rd overall out of about approx 100 cars (final results not posted yet).
The two cars that beat me were using Goodyear Eagle Racing Slicks.
So I was the fastest car on DOT tires, R compound.
One of them told me they average about 1 to 1.2 seconds faster on those slicks versus kumho v710's that I use.

I'll have to post pics later because my camera didn't work but some dude took lots of them of my car; maybe towards end of week I'll get them.

But here is a small video:

There was some serious iron there. Brand new 911 GT3 RS3; bright orange paint and michelon pilot sport cup R compounds. Beat him. A few 911 turbos. check. Good stuff and I represented well.

I usually don't race with them but I wanted one more autocross before my open track event at Pocono on May 5th. It also let me test out Hyperion's new gas tank internal bucket cover. I was under 1/2 tank and didn't experience any fuel slosh issues; previously I always had to run with full tank.

This kinda goes along with the theme of this thread. Last month at Laguna Seca, a few of us got to drive on the track with the Bay Area Porsche Club.
The FD raised a few eyebrows for sure. I love the 'WTF-was-that?' factor that the FD has. Not too many people recognize them as Mazdas, around here at least.

oh damn, i couldn't go to the last two M club events. I didn't know you were going. You should post up in this section whenever you go! thats what I do usually. but this event with the porsche club was a last minute decision, so i forgot to post up.
my next event is Pocono May 5th

amp - don't hurt my feelings at least it LOOKS like an rx7, right?

not my intention scott.. just figured yall with the conversions should call em somethin like lsfd or somethin..
its just mho.. personally dont think they are no longer representative of the rx designation..
good runs btw.. hopefully get to do some runs there.. its hard enough to squeeze in south jersey events for me..
