Its gonna be sweet, come one, come all!

 

It's that time again, hope you all can make it. It's always cool to meet other rotary nuts.
be sure to check back to this thread for updates.

 

i'll be there unless my motor is being rebuilt at the time... which is a good excuse, no?

 

Be there, or you'll be cursed with a blown engine?

 

New to owning an RX7, but I will certainly try to attend, since I am in the Tulsa area.
I have not yet gotten to take delivery of my car, as the paperwork is still pending. I purchased it from an impound yard sale just a few days ago.

 

What year is the car? Defenitly gotta show up, gona be a great time with lots of cars to check out.

 

Cool, what are you getting?

 

Red '83, with red interior. Car has 15" alloy wheels with 205/50-15, and an aftermarket exhaust.
Was actually an accidental purchase. I was looking for a Nissan SX or Z-ZX (I have a Nissan truck) for a builder. Could not pass up the sweet little RX7

 

Sweet, post some pics when you get it

 

how do you post pics? I have a couple already.

Ry.

 

Is the bbq itself good enough to actually be worth my driving the 250 miles from Dallas?

 

Damon,
Last time we had little over 22 cars with a cosmo and rx3..it was a good turnout. That BBQ we only gave them about 6 weeks notice and they all showed up. This time they will have over 10 weeks to get their **** together. We had weenies and burgers last time. Probably can do chicken, pork, and steak if people will be willing to pitch in a few bucks. And really 3-4 bucks would be all it would take.

Also, Dallas is just a short sprint from Tulsa. I did that trip about 15 times last year getting little things sorted out on my car going back and forth to Gotham. And another thing is we are going to have t-shirts made. But some funny stuff like "You Got Stallown3d" and crap like that. I would like to pick a night where it's test & tune night at the drag so we can go do a few passes. Either way, it will be a good time.

 

Pick the right weekend, and it could be held in conjuction with hallett's High Speed Touring, for those who want to get out on a road course. Costs about $75 to get on the track. They hold this once a month, towards the end. Track time is on a Sunday, 5 sesions, 15 minutes each, driver plus one passenger. That is, if anyone is interested. Street legal cars are all that is required, but race prepped cars can also be used.
I plan on taking my car out for this at least 2 or 3 times, depending on how well it runs along with what I can afford. This was what I bought the car to do, along with general driving.
More info can be found at www.hallettracing.com

 

I might want to go on this endevor, you said it was all day?

 

Thats right, gona be an all day event with our rotaries and grilling. I can already tell its gona be a good turnout, so come on out and have a good time.

 

I would like to know when this happens.I will throw in $60 to help out with food etc.Btw I own rotory resource a local RX-7 shop we have over 10,000 used/new RX-7 parts in stock.we rebuild 18-25 rotary motor cores a year 3 fd3s motors already ths year.We have customers that come from Kan,ark,tex,okc,etc.Would love to here from some more 7 owners.fd3s motor rebuilds from 1500 carry out and from 2500 installed.We get whole sale prices from rotary performance ,atkins.Let me know when this goes down I have 2 real nice fd3s I could bring. ROB
ROTARY RESOURCE

 

Sweet, This will be a good chance to show what your shop is capable of and maybe help get your name out to the local 7 owners. ..looking foward to seeing your FDs.

Cyan

 

Holy Crap...That's great. I know there is a local Rotary Performance (or something like this) and the guys name is Carlos (or something like this) and his shop is at 1-44 and Sheridan...Is that you?

Not to hijack our own thread, but you have more information? Will be great for you to be there to represent.

See you there.

Dave

 

If you guys go to Hallet I'll certainly come, track tires in tow

 

Someone else who thinks the race should not require slowing waaaaaaaaaay down before the first turn?

I have not found any Rotory specialty shops listed in the phone book around here. How do we contact Rotory Resource?

 

Hey Damon, As much fun as that sounds it would turn into a Hallet day instead of a BBQ Hallet is about 45 min away from tulsa...Call it an hour both ways after traffic and such. So then we would stay there about 4-5 hours...So that would be about 7 hours out of the day for Hallet and would leave no time for mingling / BBQ. However, the Tulsa International Raceway (drag) is only 10 min away form the BBQ location I would much rather be on a course than at the drag but just trying to think logical. But this is an option...Maybe we can plan it on the same day they have a highspeed touring at Hallet and whoever wants to blast out there can, and who wants to hang can. But then this would split up the group and that's no fun either

 

Hallett runs on a Sunday, if the main "Meet and mingle" was held on Saturday, that would allow those who wish to go out for the Hallett event to do so, without interupting the rest of the social event. I just thought I would mention the ability to get a street legal car on a road course, with only a few safety restrictions. (No passing in the corners, as that is one of the riskiest areas)
Just a thought, I have no idea what day(s) the event was being planned for.
Also, the Hallett event runs all day, as they have open wheel, closed wheel, spec Miata, and possibly another class or 2, along with the HST. The 5 track sessions are spread out over the course of the day.
Either way, I will try to attend whatever the final event turns out to be.
