I think I'll swing by there I'll be very close to gateway haven't been there in over a year I'm having withdraws. I want to see this mystical blue rx-7 run, and to salivate:). Good luck mang..

I'll call 911 and AAA in advance ;)
jk, good luck man :bigthumb:

I may drive to STL to see this tomorrow....what time does GIR open up for racing? 7pm?

Good luck. 9 second rx7 sounds like a scary ride.

Good luck!!

If I had to offer advice, I would say run through the gears slowly the first time down the track but on full throttle, no power shifting or anything fancy.

Once you know the car feels solid and is not breaking loose in the upper gears, hammer it!

Gates open at 5pm but I won't be there until 5:30 pm.

I plan on granny shifting to get a feel for it. Once I feel like I've got a good run under my belt, I'll try make a full pass.

Leaving in a minute to get my alignment done. My neighbors are going to hate me. :rlaugh:

HAHA, thats awesome Eric. Hope all goes well, I want to come home tonight to find out that you've run a 9 second pass. That will be sick. Good luck out there and don't let off on the big end this time.

Got the alignment done today, C16 dumped in and now I'm just sitting here biting my nails.

terrified :crying:

I demenad VIDEO!!! Well at least some pics. of you running.

Good luck dude.

I can't wait to hear about these results and see some video. Hope everything is going well Eric.

Dee

Good luck Eric!! 1st run is always nerve racking but you'll feel like a seasoned pro on the next pass. You can do it!! Bust a 9 in that thing before it gets sold. It'll make it all worth it. Btw.....your car is BEAUTIFUL!!

Immensely Beautiful.

I heard that the track shut down at 6:45pm...someone had just posted that on a local forum for our area. Spent $33 on fuel, $15 entry fee, waited for 1h20m...then they shut the track down. Not sure if it's true, or what happened....but I hope Eric got his pass in before they closed the track.

I hope so too. At least a real FULL pass.

well...

So how did it go Lupe?

I drove my car 45 minutes in the rain to get there, hoping that it was dry. I paid, sat there for 5 minutes and then they called it off because of the rain.

Very upset. :(

Did they refund your money?

No, they said that I can use the tech card for next tuesday, though. Looks like I'll be racing next tuesday.
