Agreed!
It's 43 deg F so not good for track temp!

 

Just got back from the palisades meet, and SpeedNYC told me the GA event was rained out.... I feel bad for all the guys (Cris & Anthony) that drove all the way out there for nothing.. Moroso should be alot better, to bad i can't go :-(

Roan is was nice meeting you after like 8yrs of this internet ****, hope to meet the rest of you guys soon...

 

From reading on the forums from the island they only shipped Lazcano's 350Z and the Yankee RX8 is still being repaired in Puerto Rico.

 

Just got home a little while ago. It was nice seeing everyone again. Since Cris was freezing (he decided to wear fashionable shorts in 40deg weather) he was in the truck and I asked question after question! He had no where to run!! lol. I got some nice pics of their low 9sec Evo.

Russ Turner spent some time going over his dash and the features. It was pretty interesting looking at the datalogs and watching the individual shock travel when they went over that "bump" on the 1/8th.

Dee let us get some nice pics of the underside of the Mazdaspeed3 and Tito explained why a lot of things are done when building a chassis. He showed us the first bar that was welded in and how they build the frame from start to finish.

For all the event pics go to http://www.rx7s.com

CHECK OUT THIS "BUMP" AT THE 1/8TH

 

Geeze, thats pretty scary. Do the fast cars have touble with this?

 

Thanks Anthony for the pics!

 

Bump?? that thing looks like an earthquake just passed through

Cris look like he was praying over the engine asking the rotary gods for forgiveness for building a monster mitsu is either that or he was just freezing his hiney off

Who won the race in the first pic, Domingo?

Great pics Anthony, to bad it rained

 

Looks like he was praying the camera man would leave .

 

I don't have to ask forgivenss because I will be rotary till death due us apart!

 

Busted

 

No crime commited!
All I do is tune those boingers!

BTW. Are you in the sunny state?

 

I thought you built that car Chris?

 

Thats right brother, rotary 4 life!!! Where we came from, rotary was king and its hard to get those old memories of rotary powered everything with Big ports and a Megaphone The brap was implanted in my brain at birth when the old man use to take me for a drive in one of his rx2's to get me to fall asleep, it was the only thing that stop me from crying
aight.... enuff of this depressing ****, im getting all choked up here

 

LOL!! See you in Moroso.

 

Happy to be back in sunny florida , see you all in Moroso.

 

I just realized this weekend was a whole buncha rotary guys and no rotaries!

See everyone in Florida, keep the rain away!

Anthony

 

Well this weekend here at moroso there're going to be a whole lot of rotaries. A friend of mines will be debuting his 'Pro' class FD also.
It's going on the dyno in the next couple of hours.

 

Any pictures of it yet?

 

There are a lot of pics of the Atlanta event on agracingphoto.com. There were more rotaries than I thought including some pics of Padilla's 1st gen.

 

Can you send the direct link or how to get to those pics? I searched and cannot find them. I even went to the last uploaded links.

 

OMFG we drove down for this! i had no idea all you guys were there ahahaha damnit!

i was with BRE (last years pro fwd champs) and got to check out Ortiz's car and the other amazing blue FC. kilo was there and i saw a glimpse of the new white FB

sux it rained tho

 

Pics are half way down in the "recent" section..

That looks like Kilo's tubbed 3 rotor , wonder what motor he got in there now? 13bpp + tubs+ clutchless =
Who's white 1st gen was that in the trailer?

God, I almost vomited after looking at some of those cars in the pics.... Rain definately don't keep the rice away

 

Seem the NHRA took some action regarding the 'bump' in the track!http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2267682

 

That's good that NHRA called the Fun Ford Event Sucks that Atlanta left a gap like that. They were better off racing on Nassau expressway in NYC. Russ from PCS showed me a datalog of the dash and all 4 shocks in the car and how that gap affected them compared to the shocks on a smooth track....

Travesio explained this is why you always want to get to the track early and walk the 1/4 mile. I actually followed him on the track when I took that pic. The track is half concrete and the other half is asphalt. When I walked on the concrete side, it was extremely STICKY but on the asphalt side was very very slippery. This was just walking so I can imagine going down with a car. I'm gonna walk MOROSO today LOL.
