Anyone have pictures or a 12A count from last night? Those of us who could not make it need a little vicarious OGTA action. More importantly, Ray is suffering from rotary withdrawls. He has had good whiff or rotary exhaust in like a week. A couple good OGTA picture might keep him going.

I'll try to make it over to RA this weekend Dave, sounds interesting.

Yeah some pictures and the 12A count would be helpful, while I was at the Mazda dealer yesterday picking up an intake manifold gasket I found myself looking at Miatas.

A count is premature, I think. I'm not even sure we can put together a full list of attendees.

SA

FB
Alex
Crit
Denard
Geraldo
Lisa

Preprod
Kristi

FC
Brett
Collin
White vert "the Situation"

FD
Jeremy

FE
Billy
Holly

Boingers
Andy

I'm too tired to really think hard - y'all want to grow this list for me?

12A count

8 FBs X 1 point a piece = 8 points
7 FCs X .5 points a piece = 3.5 points
1 preprod X .75 points = .75 points
1 FD X .333(1/3) points a piece = .333 points
2 FEs x(.125) points a piece = .25 points

Total= 12.833 12A points

"twelve eight twelve 'a's" really rolls off the tongue

I can see it all in my mind. Nice Meet!

Hey, did you know the August meeting was OGTA's 3rd Birthday Party?

Yep, been three years.

Ray, you missed 2 chances to see the FC finally running... Come on! Hope you get the silver one running good soon.

I didn't know 95% of the things on here. It's really neat to see all the wacky history from Mazda: http://www.mazda.com/90th/#/gallery

I am planning on the December event as well. I want to do the AMP event, but I have heard that they only recently broke ground. I fear not enough time to build a quality track. Fingers crossed though.

This event was a last minute deal for me. Just got the OK from the boss yesterday. As long as she gets to go shop.

Hope to see you there Ray. Should be lots of intresting races and cars about. This is my first NASA event and have always heard they are really fun.

Ray, we had a couple of new people and no one there with a camera to take good pics. We missed you.
Mike there were 19 rotary powered cars at the meeting last night. That is a lot of rotary exhaust that Ray could have sniffed.

Good news OGTAs. I think some of the rotary fumes ya'll produced wafted up to Jefferson. I talked to Ray last night and he was hard at work breathing life back into The Silver One. I think those fumes may just have been enough to keep him going.

Yes the rotary fumes are still wafting through Jefferson, a full day and a half after the August meeting. Inspired by the aroma, I am putting the finishing touches on my second Nikki rebuild and preparing to install it today, on top of my freshly redone intake manifold. Might even get it started a bit later to contribute to the fog over Jefferson.

Tim, you are talking in tongues again, please translate.

Those are great pictures Mr. C, thanks. I'd like to have seen that blue car.

If you are still needing that coil pm me on how to get it to you.

I'm up to my ears in Nikki's, happy as can be.

Hey Alex, you didn't count the FE's. There is one in your picture above, plus mine, then Keven showed up later, that makes 3 FEs. And for OGTA members:
Alex - FB
New guy - Blue FB
Ryan - FC
Kristy - PreProd
Jeremy - FD
Holly -FE
Kevin McCuen - FE

I've seen that Blue FD with the 3-rotor before. I didn't know that guys was still in the ATL area.

It was good to meet your brother.
