Fair enough. I mostly alluded to Evos because I haven't had much of a chance to see how my car compares to some modern hot stuff. Controlled passing is a good thing.

 

Engine blown (again)!

Hey everyone, I met a few of you guys in person and wanted to say how much fun I had racing on Saturday even though I didn't have my Rx-7 that day. There was one of you guys racing with a nice white FC, looked like a turbo model, and you were spitting flames everywhere (I was in the silver Integra behind you during one of our sessions in the afternoon)

I couldn't believe how many wipeouts there were, too bad the blue group got the shaft on track time. Also, I don't know if any of you guys paid attention, but there was a tall thin guy on Saturday in a green shirt driving a miata that was pretty much driving right past the black and silver Porsche 997 911 turbos that kind of stuff makes me laugh.

I met a few of the FD people: Joel, Andy, Ken, Mike, Dave, and Crosby (is that your last name?)... hope to see you guys again, I spend a lot of time in San Diego, Culver City/Los Angeles, and San Bernardino so if you're ever around and want to attend an Rx-7 cruise/meet PM me so we can meet up.

 

Thanks to all who came out!!! It was hot, but the track action was great!

first few pics from the event!

The tail guys name is amelio. He is a instructor for speed venture. Great driver. His car is bone stock. Its all about the driver.
Thanks Robert

 

Did you go Robert? You should have come by and asked for a ride!

 

Emilio is definately a good driver, but his car wasn't bone stock. Check the ride height and r-compounds. There's no argument that he was drivng the crap outta that little thing, though.

Fun weekend!

 

I was there on saturday.I would have loved to taken a ride with you. Im almost serious about going to the darkside!!!!!!
Thanks Robert.

 

fun as hell event.

i went with a group of friends, a tii, 2 s5 fc's and an rx8. to my suprise my fb was the most reliable. bullet proof 12a with ~170k miles.

 

i had fun! even with the heat and slow fc, can't wait for next years, hopefully with better weather

 

Very fun (and hot) indeed.
Anyone know the website of the professional photographer that was out there?
I'm trying to find some pictures of my wagon out there on the track.

my personal favorite.

 

i had a blast til i found out that one of my oil lines had a hole in it! Thankfully i brought it on a trailer

 

good seeing everyone there, had alot of fun and learned alot being my first track day! cant wait till the next one.

 

Those rims looked dope on your ride... RH C2 3-piece, right? What were the sizes? If they make 17x8/17x9, I'm going to start looking for a set.

 

Heres a video of my 85 gsl-se turbo running around the track. This was my first outing with my 7. Its about 19min long with me spinning out towards the end of the video. Also an RX-8 spins out after I wave him bye.

What kind of speeds was everyone reaching down the main straight?

was yours the tender blue fb? that thing is a monster! kudos to you sir.

 

was that you who passed me in the last session? i was in the black 3.

i don't know how fast i was going in the straight, compared to you guys my car was slowwww. i was hitting about 75-80 in that back long sweep though..i want to push it more..honest!

 

That one's easy, get another fd

 

+1 You know you want another one!

 

haha funny. i wouldnt trust it in my parking space. i have a homeless dude who hangs out next to my trashbin every tues and thursday. not to say he wants more than more than recyclables..but you never know where a rotary enthusiast might lie.

 

Yes, my car was the tender blue FB shooting big flames from what I was told. I was getting up to just over 100 mph down the main straight.
