^+1 A few rx7's made it to the show. 3 second gens and a few third gens, including a 3 rotor and LS1 swaps. Sick run on the highway, and I feel very sad for that Supra that did a 360 and crashed on the garden state parkway leaving from Cheesequake to Forked River. I hope the dude is ok. Anyways, great event!

wow didn't know the accident was that bad. The 7's were scattered all throughout.
There were a lot of Supras. It was impressive they were able to get all of them out to the event.


I started a thread with pics linked below anyone feel free to add to it.

they get more and more each year, so all the other owners are like oh hey look its basically another giant supra meet lets go cause its rare to catch that many at one meet.

rx7s could be doing that too. it snowball effects if you get enough interest and then year to year bigger and bigger as well.


evos and supras get a huge turnout. next year lets put rx7 in that list

I was hoping there would have been more 7's. It seemed like there were a ton of people saying they'd go but I counted maybe 10 RX7s in total? my FC(tornado silver - across from the supras), 2 others in red. the black and the blue FBs and the ls1, montego blue FD and two others in red.

Maybe some showed up later? I left around 2:30..

Even though I didn't go up to you and said my thanks personally, partly because you were always mobbed with people around you; thanks for the invite... It was a really nice event.

P.S. Don't forget about us, the rotor heads, for next years Street Wars.

Thank you for the kind words sir You still could have come up to me and introduced yourself! I spoke to about 200+ people but each person i had a legit 5 min convo with, then i was swept off elsewhere I always posted this meet here but there was a national 7/8 meet in VA last year on the same date so not many were interested =/

I promise i wont forget about you when i was born my parents had a 87 FC GXL, and i rode in the back of that car untill i was 2ish and then my parents got rid of it so i always kinda have a soft spot for the 7 crowd
