thanks everyone we got it fixed, hope there is no trouble today and tomorrow......

Thats a tall order to beat, You need to beat the non-rotary cars and hope a rotary car wins, How do you win sliding around anyways
You win some green just sliding around+sponsors,its called a job driving professional.

thanks AnthonyNYC

and Rotaryboyz for pitching in.....

On another note: Took the family out fishing- my other favorite hobby- and had a great time. I bought my son one of those kiddy button type fishing rod/reels so he could learn to fish easier and hooked a monster catfish that I basically had to reel in because it was too much fish for him. The fish almost broke the rod, it was double over the whole time lol. We caught three big bluegills and two catfish in about 1.5hrs. We all had a blast, even the old lady, hehe. Here's some pics.

I don't want to hear this maybe stuff. You are going to be out drag racing this weekend is what you meant to say right? There's no time to setup the all motor car and have time to test it and get it ready so I vote for the RX3. You have to blow of the cob webs anyways. I got the video camera ready to go so bring it and I'll see you there. Late.

Oh man, he was about 1 year old. I remember that day like it was yesterday. My son had the craps and we ran out of diapers and then they shut down the main road back to the highway so we had to take a huge detour and didn't find a store for more diapers for like an hour! Needless to say the inside of the car was not smelling to good. That was so nasty!

Time flies..... I just got back from Disneyland and my son is now tall enough to go on all the big rides- 40". He's almost 4 years old now! Man, I'm getting old... anyways we had a blast and my son was not afraid of any of the big rides, even space mountain. Wont be long before he'll be grabbing gears down the 1/4.

It's about 10 hours away from us and with a trailer it's even longer. If I come it will be without the Rx7 and just to hang out a bit but that's a LONG drive with a trailer. How far are you from the track?

Do you have plans on racing your car this year? You seem to be pretty quiet lately. You are usually the one racing the most.

Its about 9.5hrs for me. I dont mind the drive too much. I will get to test the new clutch set up next weekend and see if I can dial in the 2 step better. If all goes well and it runs close to were I think it will go then I will be at the NC event.

Couple things bother me thou. He mentioned changing the turbo sizes on the rotaries which tells me guys are trying to sqeeze down a class= bullshit!

Also I heard some PR guys had a car at another event on a T3 that fit the true street class that went 9.30's.

I want no part of that. High 9's up and I am game.

I made a lot of changes with the car. I rebuilt the motor last weekend, I street ported the irons and exhaust. I'm not using ALS seals any longer but instead using a set of seals that Roan sells. They are called MT seals and so far he has them in a few cars and they are working very well. Enzo is running them as well. Roan is also running them in his street car.

I swapped from the older greddy T88 and now running a Borg Warner. Enzo should be done with the manifold tomorrow, I was at his shop tonight and its 99% there. This is the same kit that he is selling, he made the jigs so far everything lined up perfectly on my car.

I also will be running E85 and moving away from C16. I swapped injector setups. Lastly I lost all my maps for the TEC3 so I have to start over again, not a big deal but just a lot of settings to go through. I had them backed up but made a mistake.

I have 2 days to install setup, break in motor, and tune the car to make an event this weekend. We'll see what happens lol.

rofl wow that kid is amp'd up. I know the feeling but dam.

Rotorious: ive been in several national GNCC races with 200+ riders, 40 riders leave the gate every 30 seconds,, not only do you have to worry about not falling but if you do you have another 40 riders charging at you every 30 seconds, you better get out the way lol.
