CA Hello, New From The Bay Area

Hello, I was instructed to post another introduction thread here if this is the appropriate area, if not please don't ban me I know rules are rules but I'm new here and am still learning the flow of things.

So yeah, hi, I'm Spettro from the Easy/North Bay in CA. I've had an interest in rotary powered race cars for about 2-3 years now and since this is the best source I'm told for rotary powered vehicle information I thought I'd make an account. I'm here to lurk, maybe use the classifieds here and there, maybe attend a local meet or two as long as non-rotary powered cars are allowed, if not I understand. I drive an NB, it's painfully slow and the paint and body are in terrible shape. I also have a Ford that I hate and I'm hoping to get rid of soon. But yeah that's about it about me.

Welcome bud. There is a seperate intro section, but it's cool. Just drop by a meet some time. No need to rsvp, just show up and hope everyone else didn't flake/break down on the way. It gets a little more active when the weather is warmer though.

Howdy and Welcome! NB like Volkswagen new Beetle or something else. You should come to the meets anyway. There a Subaru showed up last time and a bunch of people who's cars were in pieces in their respective garages. lol.

NB as in a 1999 Mazda Miata that's all chassis and no drivetrain. Pretty much runs on hopes and dreams at this point. I'll try to come out to a meet some time next year, I'm pretty busy until January and my car won't stay running when it's cold out.

There's a meet going on on the 22nd at Burlingame's Go-Kart Racer at 5p.

As for the meets, if you show up and don't be an *** doing donuts/burnouts/freerevs you'll generally be welcome. Finding new places are hard. :P

I like the FC, but unless it's got a ported engine w/paperwork or it's dirt cheap I'm not really in the market currently. My NB is eating enough money just to keep it on track as is.
