Irwindale raceway

I am planning to head down there one of these days, probably a Thursday and Run my 7. If you are down to go watch or run your N/A or Turbo 7 lets head out. It will probably be fun as hell with some crazy *** RX7 owners. Its something different you are actually putting your ride to good use! instead of a person trying to hump it on a parking lot.

Ive tried to bring out some rotary people out before many times .......but no one cares about racing here in LA........there are like a million Rx's in los angeles and no one wants to go race........i know a bunch of rotary race cars and street cars , but all they do is race with the mouth.....
