was that drag strip 1/8th, or a 1/4 mile?

apneablue

It's a 1/4 mile...And you think that people would want to make this a whole weekend deal? I don't mind but I don't know how many people would drive up and stay over...But that would be a good deal. I will check on the High Speed Touring days at hallett and try to make it on the same day...Also, sundays the Drag opens to whoever on sundays and is called Test N Tune. That runs from 6-10pm.

what time should people show up?

what time should people show up for the bbq?

Hey Dude,
we will announce a data and a tentative schedule early to mid next week. Just need to get the guys together and discuss everything.

stay tuned!

I for one would consider a bbq on Saturday and Hallet on Sunday, that's a good idea. The group stays together and those that want to run can.

For me it just depends on which specific weekend it is. If I have an event here in town that weekend I wouldn't be able to come

apneablue

You will have to excuse me. I was boiling over with a fever lastnight and was typing all sorts of whacked out ****.

Anyway, Damon. Would be great to have you there and it is noted that you can't come on the last weekend. You have any others in the DFW area you would bring up?

DamonB

We have a big group here, it would just come down to who is interested in coming. If everybody comes to just our local events we have a couple dozen cars.

I have events on May 15 and May 22 and get married June 4. The earlier in May the better for me.

Just for the record, the Hallett event for May is on the 28th and 29th. Saturday is just practice, and Sunday is the actual track day.
In the event that the main meet and mingle is set for the 29th, I may be unable to attend, due to other obligations with folks that will be at Hallett anyways.
As noted before, I was just adding this as a possible bonus event. For those who would not run HST more than one time, it would be a little costly, as they require a $35 annual membership along with the $75 to run. Not a great deal for just one day, but worth it for those who would be running more often. They hold this HST once a month, from March till October.

Rogue_Wulff

Looks like they have raised the cost from $75 to $95. Bummer.
Guess that will help to rule out adding this as an additional option.
No worries, I still would like to attend the BBQ, if at all possible.

actually, carlos' shop did not close, he moved to a larger shop on 71st and 145th (broken Arrow--across from the super wal-mart). he rents his space from my friends step-dad. carlos is a real nice guy. i havent had my engine rebuilt by him, but he did bring my car back from the dead for me. i transplanted the engine in my car with a friend. but that was our first big tuning expedition, and we screwed up on some vacuum lines and stuff. i brought it to him, and he fixed the leaks, told me what was wrong, how to fix certain things, what the check for in the future, and even took out my rats nest for me! i suppose he could have had an engine blow after he rebuilt it. i do know of a few stories of people getting their engine rebuilt, and not breaking them in properly by revving the **** out of them. i would assume that any engine rebuilder would have a few of them go after being rebuilt. i know he has been doing this for at LEAST 3 years now. so, i guess 4 out of 3 years would be pretty good. he also does piston work. his rates are fairly reasonable as well. since he is an american airlines electrician, this is kind of his side passion job. so, his rates are really good and also he is somewhat lax with them. great guy and very courteous in my opinion. maybe you should give an explanation of why the engines went instead of just saying, "4 engines blew that he rebuilt." i am sure that if an engine that you rebuilt had blown by a person that didnt know how to break them in you wouldnt want some one saying, "they blew after being rebuilt by xx". ive just had experience with his mechanical skills, and have not had a problem with them yet. also, he helped fix my friends sil-80 sr20det conversion as well. if you ask for advice or help, he gladly helps. very nice. hopefully if my work schedule permits, i will be attending the bbq!
im not flaming, just saying you should state a reason why they blew or some thing happened, instead of just saying some thing happened. kind of reminds me of movies/shows where the attorney is trying to purposely grill a witness and not give a reason why some thing happened, so it looks like a more grave matter than it actually is. but it is nice to know that we have a couple rotary places in town. just wish there wasnt always friction among the rotary places. really gets annoying.

i didn't realize that it posted twice, it was only supposed to be one

HeatTreated

I was at the last one, a great time you guys should go!
I might hover in late and hide my Nissan in the background just to say hi to some friends.

Misthael

I can't wait for this. I'm glad I saw this thread finally. My front rotor has a blown apex seal. I didn't think there was a rotary shop around here any mroe. I'll have to get ahold of Rotary Resource and get 'er done. Lookin forward to this. I'll be alot faster than last time. Maybe not cleaner, but faster.

94touring

Our official date is now the last weekend of May, so mark your calender.

razorback

hey get in gear to come down to fayetteville again in march. i know of some good twisty roads.

apneablue

Yes, What he said.

That would be May 28th....

We will have the time and directions to the BBQ site coming soon..

DamonB

That's the week before I get married. Can't come

Misthael

TRP will be having drags this night, but it's a Pepsi shootout. It's nto a test n tune. Friday nights are test n tunes. There are midnight drags the 28th, but that starts at 10pm and goes to 2 am. I'm up for the midnights, but I doubt anybody else is. Maybe we can make this a two day affair. Have a meet at the test n tune Friday night then have the BBQ Staurday? Are we going to meet somewhere remote ad cruise to the eating place like last time? That was fun. I'm keeping this up to date on the OKSpeed.com forums to hopefully get more people out. I sure can't wait...

apneablue

Good food for throught on the 2 dayer. I am game to go out to Test n Tune with anyone who happens to be in town and wants to go.

Also, something we thought of lastnight was...We probably should post this on the RX-8 forum...After all, they are rotary owners too

Swolbynos

ill go either/ both nights to TRP. if my car is back by then....

DrKillJoY

once you guys get the details figured out let me know..

we need to close this thread and start a clean one with simple and direct details.
