Well I did not look at the mapquest but quickest way is to take 53 (exit 1 or 2). Its the Ardmore exit. 53 turns into jordan lane and the dyno is off jordan once you get into huntsville.

That was pretty fun. Hope Chris can drum up some more rotary guys for the next roll out. My commander showed .78 but AFR hit 9's and it felt like I hit fuel cut, bogged down pretty bad at WOT.

I read tony (supra) ran the skyline later on... I was under the impression the skyline was slow.. Maybe it was just the shity paint job that thru me off. I guess after we left they went to another location but the mustang boys on trailers were a no show.

Yeah, it was fun but dont think I can do that too often.... I will stick to the track.

the R32 skyline just has the stock rb20det in it with stock turbo. I put an avc-r in it and fixed a bunch of wiring. It is quick but not fast. I just finished another RB25 swap and I think the Skyline owners want to go with the 25 now. I am just finshing up some small details on the REW second gen and she will be ready. I am going to paypal ray the deposit probably tomorrow. I was about to come out there last night but got caught up working.

yeah, I just read were they were bullshitting about the skyline. The only car it beat all night was a cobalt ss.. Thats about what I thought based on the driver and the paint..LOL....

I had fun. But I am too scared to race on the street anymore and dont really care to watch Honda after honda race..... Track opens Feb. 21st. So after Rays tune if all is well you know were I will be every weekend..

Mike, I was curious if you would have a chance to do a base map on this FC for the time being. I have it running off the oem computer but it needs the dwell time change on the pfc and timing taken out a little to make it streetable till dyno day. I have the stock 550 850 in her now until ray gets here. Let me know.

Thanks,
Dustin

if Ray does not put up a schedule this week I will phone him and take care of it. We would like to get as many cars completed on Friday. There are 1-2 that can not be there until saturday.

Tenitive schedule. I am giving every car 2 hour windows. But I expect some to go longer and other shorter. I think its a good idea if you guys can arrive several hours before hand incase we get ahead of schedule. Also if a car gets on the dyno and runs into issues we will skip it and start on the next car.

Dyno needs to close at 6pm but I am going to ask otherwise. If Doc's car is not complete and we have to leave he will be first back on Sat.

man the other night was the first time ive seen a rotary in a looong time lol (well besides everyday i walk in the back yard.... or... step into the garage.....)

but i meant on the streets! lol
there is alot of anticipation for the track to open, as you can tell by the MASSIVE turn out of street racers. well i hope to run the rx3 at the drag strip this year some time. 2200lbs and 210hp TII motor should be fun, but ppl would be expecting more cause of the cage lol. still just waiting on my brother to wire it up.... oh and a bov... anyone got a aftermarket bov laying around? not a fleabay kind?

Don, I bet you can still get in friday. Ray really wants to get as many completed Friday as possible. I emailed Arthur asking if we can get the dyno to stay open later in the night. 8-9pm would be great. I suggest just coming bay and seing were everything is.

Gilgamesh, good seeing you out there... Swing by that weekend if you like. Otherwise I dont want a crowd there.

What's up Chris. Glad you could make it here. I'm sure not much went on last night because of the rain, so I guess we didn't miss much. For that carburetor, you might want to check the 1st gen section to get a better idea of the value.


EDIT: I sent you a PM of another rotary website you should check out.
