Pretty awesome meet, not too many people but had some great chat and met quite a few new RX-7/Rotary owners here in San Antonio.

Cars Attended:
  • GSL-SE Drag Car, Full Bridge Semi-Peripheral w/ 200 Shot of Nitrous, Holy S*** LOUD
  • My GSL-SE
  • 1982 RX-7, almost 300,000 miles on the original engine. [owned by the guy who started the meet, his name has slipped my mind, I believe it was Michael.]
  • RHD SA22C w/ 13B, Dellorto 48, MSD, General Badassery.
  • 2 Convertable FCs
  • tII FC
  • S4 N/A, driven by my friend Jose who owns a first gen currently being rebuilt.
  • 12A Powered AE86 Hatchback
  • Twin Weber 4A-GE AE86 Coupe

Unfortunately no pics because at 8:30 in the evening it's not exactly opportune for taking hand held photos, next time I'll try to bring a tripod and get some.


The meet will be the FIRST Saturday of every month at ~8PM at the Pigstand

Right on boss, I believe hopefully next time there will be a 13B Bridged Corolla and possibly a Starlet out as well. The guy who started it was a real cool dude and just wanted to get the word out as best as possible to get somethin going because afterall San Antonio doesn't have a "Rotary/RX-7 Club" so I'm definitely with ya on hoping this expands to get all of the SA and surrounding Rotary Community together once a month for a little fun.

Damn missed out on this one. Seems pretty cool tho, sounds like a couple of the guys that I've met at the Biffs and Fuddruckers meets.

We used to have a fairly decent club going, SARX7 Club, but it slowly died off and most of the members moved over to a new site, AlamoMotoring. Will be trying to plan more get togethers, cruises & track days once the weather cools down some. Know the RX8 guys wanna do something too.

Yeah, I saw that craigslist ad last week also, but I had to go to Austin last night and couldn't make it.

Definitely will try to make the next one.

Darren, are you the guy who came by the shop and got the master off the GSL-SE?

My RX-7 has been put on standby until next summer unfortunately but I'll try to make it out in the Cobalt if I'm not at mud fest.

MM is at San Antonio Raceway out off of I-10 about 20 minutes east of 1604.

Sounds like it is growing.

Sounds good gents, I'm gonna be wrenching on the car Friday and most of Saturday to try and get the car back into a running order in which I can feel it's not acting up [just have an odd feeling] so I might be able to get it out to the meet or if not I'll just be the tall dude with the Cobalt.

Should be, there was a smaller showing last month and most of the RX-8 guys skipped out pretty early I guess to go cruise. I'll be by in the Cobalt as the RX-7 is on lawn ornament duty. Hopefully the weather doesn't keep people away.

BUMP!!!

Anybody made it to the last meet on the 4th Dec? I showed up for the November one at around 9:45-50PM and to my surprise there was nobody there, not even the RX-8 guys. Did everyone called it quits or is it too cold???

The Dec was almost non-existant, there were 3 FCs, an FD, Miata and an AE86, and mike with his FB. Dunno why everyone suddenly dropped off the face of the earth but then again most what we did was just stand around and talked for a bit then left, not much of a plan other than that.

As far as Novembers meet, RX-8 guys left pretty early, I coulda sworn we were all there past 10:00 but I'm not sure.

I'll try to keep making it out but as my car is getting overhauled it's gonna be a few months before I can actually drive it again.
