OK OGTA guys, the out-of-staters are registered. You have procrastinated long enough (Ray), time to get registered.

Tim, it will be good to see you. There should be pretty good contingent coming down from NC.

Greg, did I mention Original OGTA members eat free next Thursday? It's in the charter.

Mike, I'm waiting to see who signs up before committing to Zoomfest. It's cool you and Tim are gonna' be there, but still I'm wondering about Holly, Alan, Greg the Elder, Greg the Younger, Gene and Cory, Ben and Juno, the Kevin's, Brett, Andy the Elder, you know all those cool people with cool SA's and cool FB's.

PS Tim, you need some custom corks for your dizzy holes. I'll bring some to Zoomfest, if I sign up.

Im going and bringing the NEW Respeed 79sa (Man is she coming along!), and maybe the 75 RE5 Rotary Bike.
I will have my truck so if anyone needs parts look over my link below and I will bring them with me.

It will be good to finally meet Tim after all these years.

I am registered for the PDX. I am so excited! I'm going to upgrade a few things that will make this really awesome! I am going to do the brakes as you all know as well as change my needle and seat Also Crit, we shouldn't have thrown away my old needle and seat, it was a #300, and they're discontinued, so now I have to run either a #250 and run lean, or a #350 and run rich. The folks over at eurocarb told me that the 350 would be my best compromise, so I'm going with that. At any ate, my current #225(what came in the rebuild kit) takes away all my top end horsepower and causes my car to sputter in the last 1000 RPM as well as overheat quickly above 4K (too lean). I'm hoping the #350 is a pretty good match for my engine and RB exhaust (RB recommends the #300 with the stock exhaust, so maybe 350 will run well).

Man I wish I could justify the PDX, but I can't. Touring laps should be fun though... What were they like last year?

Tey are correct the #350 should be the ticket!

They were a lot of fun! If you're in Sabine, a touring alp will be all out for you anyway (not an insult, but most of the first gen guys said it felt like their cars were already being pushed at 9/10s already, with my mods, or at least following the guyy in front of me who was behind some slow saturn or something, I'd say I was gunning at about 7 or 8 tenths. It felt decently quick, and the freedom to move from the left or right side of the track without worrying about "lanes" and oncoming traffic was fantastic! I'm just looking forward to more speed and and getting a feel for my car at speed. Riding up in ranges from 70 to 95 (what you're limited to if it's your first time running PDX) will be a huge learning experience over my usual autocross knowledge at speeds below 45.

Good to know! I just want it to drive like it used to, only now it's rebuilt, so better haha.

I planned on it, Chris. I figured you'd wanna use it.. I bought fresh batteries and whatnot...even better if you can supply your own SD card. I think there's a two gig limit, so... don't go crazy with the size of the card.

Maybe in return you can get some nice pictures of Sabine? Make her look a bit better than she really is? Hate the ******* paint rash...

I can make it, if girls without 12As are welcome. I'm just off the Chamblee -Tucker exit on the I-85side. Anyone have a time and an address for Hunan Inn?

Thats whats in my Dell and I posted 135 whp at a dyno day we had up here. It ran even and strong all the way up to ~6500 rpm then power tapers off. We can compare setups at ZoomFest.

Make sure you get lithium AAA batteries for the GoPro. Mine goes thru 1 set(2 batts) every 20 minutes session IF you want the entire 2nd session on camera. I lost my entire last session( one of my best) due to the batts shutting off 2 laps in Just a heads up on the GoPro

I just purchased a few cans of color match put into an aerosol can. Made the job super easy to do. Make sure and get a can of the clear also since the paint is almost flat until you clear it.
