till when? i could show up later after 4 pm maybe

 

Interesting, wonder how this thread escaped my gaze for so long....

 

Some time in June would be fine with me. Could shoot for the last weekend in June?

 

Saturday is the 4th!

I'd show up to that one.

 

My car should be here by then. So I can show you my work in progress. Also small, small request. could someone give me a ride in a FD? I never rode in one before.

 

Ever ridden in a turbo convertible?

 

Nope

 

If I can make it, I'll let you ride in one and then drive one...if you don't mind driving a V8 swap

 

well guys, we COULD just make it a track day meet. I did this event several times last year, and it is a blast. Its an actual road course, not a bunch of cones spread out in a parking lot. what do you think?

been to that before and it was a lot of fun. Corvette guys were kinda snobby with my R1 back in the day as they didn't think much of it more than "ricey" to them. I wasn't best in class...but I wasn't last.

 

Really? I went to four of them last year, and they were ok. Then again the imports out numbered the corvettes 2 to 1, so they couldn't complain since we were basically funding the day, LOLOL

 

When I went the Jax Corvette Club was out there...those were the snobby guys...

 

Just found out today that I will not be able to make it. I am flying to Europe for work. Next time I guess.

 

That's a fantastic idea. You think they would let us rent it out for the day for an all-Florida rotary meet?

Edit: I wonder if that small, Police/Fireman track is still open near FCCJ.

Dunno. Come out saturday ($40 to register day of) and race with us; we can get more info then!

 

Peter, is Tom Bush still sponsoring the big meets? Kept in touch with Sam Ollie--he used to bring the see-thru rotary?

Getting excited. Lots of parts ordered and arriving. I'm trying to get this thing done in a month so I can help out again. I don't want to show up in a Mazda P5 or Honda Odyssey

 

hey if you need help getting it together, I am usually free tuesdays during the day

 

I used to organize the meets between us and the G'ville guys. Those were great meets. I'm sure we can get that way again. I've already go approval from the wife to help out with meets and finish the 7. FULL PERMISSION!

I'm not going to make the next race meet without the 7. Again, don't want to show up in the P5 or Odyssey--though the P5 would be fun for track day.
my official build out list not in any particular order:
1. Install new wheels 17x8 +35 Rota Torques
2. Install PowerFC: modified trailing coil, FD AIT sensor, 3 bar MAP sensor, wideband O2 sensor, 720cc primaries and 1000cc secondaries, dyno tune at SpeedFab
3. Tanabe downpipe, Apexi N1 dual catback
4. Prothane master bushings kit
5. swap back to stock headlights.
6. replace antenna mast
7. New tie rod ends--all 4
8. clean and reinstall FTP lenses.
9. install innovate wideband gauge.
10. Choose, order install body kit. Fiil a small ding on rear quarted and get the car sprayed. Staying with stock Blaze Red.

I MIGHT be able to make a late June meet!

 

Nice. Nothing like getting full permission. Fc's are actually my favorite 7. Something about the body style makes me As soon as I have a house with a garage, I will have one of those too What part of town do you live on? I am very excited about getting some kind of rotary community together here in Jax. I have tried in the 8 forums, but there is only one other guy in Jax who ever gets out.

 

I live over in the Woods, Atlantic and Hodges. We used to have a few 8s come to the meets. I don't know if Dan still has his 8 and Turbo Vert. Still trying to track him down. Wheels are now on--need spacers in the front to clear the Tein springs though.

I still have all the photos from all the old meets too. I'll bring the iPad with all the photos for everyone to reminisce over. I think I have the photos from the really large meet we had at Castaway Island Preserve off of San Pablo. There must have been 50 or 60 rotaries there that day.

Dan made the last meet, brought some tasty pulled pork with his smoker. Tom Bush hasn't sponsered anything in a long time. I haven't seen Sam in forever either. We've just been throwing it together as we can. I think Tilted Kilt would be fun, plus we can sit in air conditioning or at the bar which straddles outside/inside (if I recall). In either event, be fun.

 

ok, so do we want to set up something small, kind of a meet and greet, then go from there? I know James (sherriganfc) goes up to Sonics every now and then on saturdays, and as much as I hate that particular scene, it might be a good start. thoughts?

 

Sephitrask, does that course in St.Augustine have a website or a name?

I would totally be up for some meets in the future. I am finally getting the FC down here after a few years of trying. It was loaded on the truck this morning. And I could use the help to get her in better shape
