As always, I will be there.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the support. Now... where's Tim Benton???

 

I'm here and still plan on going. This is one of the events I make it out too, only missed 1 so far, as far as I can tell. You wanting your revenge this go around, Travis?

Tim

 

Planning on taking the FD, but it's acting up. If it's together still on 3/5, I'll be in it. Otherwise, I'll have to bring the dumbastic (Rustang).

 

road atlanta or auto-x is a track day. not silver dollar

 

what kind of helmit do you need

 

Yeah i suppose your right Silver dollar isnt a "track". I might go all the same with my DSM though, depends on if I can get the AEM running right by then.

Road Atlanta is a great track.

Auto-X is not done on a track. It's a bunch of guys running their cars around cones in a parking lot at 35mph..... I guess that's what you call "real racing"...

Don't get upset. I'm just messing with you. :p

 

Its going to be a blast! The caravans to the event will be fun too, great for pics. C U all there

 

Friendly bump!!

 

Not sure if I'm going to make it. Might have to work....

 

Whaaa? Is your name David "BENTON" now?

 

Nah, Benton drives 2 1/2 hrs to make one pass, then goes home. I'm not that hardcore.

I just might have to work that day, I don't get to make a choice.

 

ha, I got in 5 passes that day with the quickest being 12.5 at 119 on street tires at 32psi But I still made it out there and plan on making it this time as well.

Tim

 

i forgot about this

 

i had something to do. usually i call this work.

 

I was the only RX7 that made it. As usual. :p

 

I actually forgot as well. Sunday rolled around and I was replacing the alternator belt on the 91 and locks and other interio trim on the FD and remembered it then. How did you do David?

Tim

 

I was just reading this and when you first look at what Tim wrote on the previous page it looks like he was running 32psi boost. haha then i figured that had to be tire presure.

 

Did fine (ie - I didn't break anything)

 

Crap! I posted this then never came back to check up on it. I'm losing it lately. I had to basically leave the track and go directly to Rock Hill, SC for work. I was so wrapped up in the drama at the time I totally forgot to come here and stir the pot (well, I should also mention I didn't get any reply notifications???).

Anyway, sure Tim, I'd love another shot at revenge. All I need to do now is get all the crap that I took off the Green VR-4 in to the White VR-4 so it'll run better than a 13.4 @ 102 MPH. But hey... that's not bad for basically an air filter and a boost controller (everything else bone stock). She should run low 12s at ~116 MPH once I get her modded and tuned. I won't have the trap speed to take you, so I'm going to have to rely on RT and 60'.

We're almost positive we're going to do it again in the fall. Maybe we can line 'em up then?

 

Sounds good to me and sorry for missing it.

Tim

 

I don't think Tim exists anymore. I think he is talking to us from the grave, like Elvis. Hopefully someone will spot him soon.

Anyone else agree with me?

Hey wait a minute. I was just out at Road Atlanta this entire weekend and only saw 1 other 3rd gen, glad to meet ya Tom, 2 first gens and about 12 RX-8's..10 of which were doing the HPDE like I was. Would have been nice to have a few more FD's on the track so I could snap some shots. Luckily the RX-8 guys were great to hang around with and I had a fantastic time. I was hitting 150 on the back straight and I never hit WOT the whole time I was on the track. More like toe'd in to about 5/8's to 6/8's throttle but never on the floor.
