2much, i must say, very nice, and tho Im nto a big fan on rotary's, I give them alot of props actually. one excellent weight distribution, and two, only type of engine other then a piston engine to win at Le Mans ( 1991) as well as being the only Japanese manufacturer to win there. man that layout looked so much fun too...

[EchoMirage]

blacdout, did you get my PM? i went alright, at least i didnt place last in class for once. the V710s made a world a differance, night and day. i was amazed at how fast i can take corners. it wasnt that great a layout, it was pretty slow, with more turns then usual i think. any autox doesnt have the room for a good LS1 to stretch her legs and breathe, but it was alright. i placed 6th in class, within a second of the faster 3, each of which being a porsche, MR2, and S2000. all of which i have beat by maybe 1000lbs, so considering i have a stock susp., im proud of what my car did. keep in touch this week, let me know if you can still make next sudays run.

and as far as 2MCHPWR goes, he has an LS1 transplant in his little rx7. much better then rotary power. ;-) sounded alot like my car when he went around.

Mark daddio smacking people around with a 33.7 thats silly fast. the guy is one of the best drivers in the country. looked like a good time.

Yeah I read up on the point standings, way to whip that bird around the track man. even tho im dead last in my category, im still thrilled to see my name on a points system. And i had a sneaking suspision that wasenta rotary in that car, I thought it sounded different, but thought eh he doesnt have a fart can on it so maybe thats how they should sound lol.

[2MCHPWR]

NICE!!! thats a clean RX-7. Well I tighten the hell outta that bolt in the rear, it stopped it moving, so what tools did i need to race, a 21mm and a 18mm, and ida ben out there, but its justa tempo bolt anyway, im gonna make sure it never loosens again as soon as that tubular panhard bar gets here. nylon nut, lock washer, and maybe loctite if im stupid enough, it'll probably never come back off, but hey, at least i wouldnt have to worry about failing for that anymore lol.

[EchoMirage]

plafta only took 2 pics of my car..... :-(

dont really "need" any tools to race. i hardly bring anything, but it depends on your car. if we meet up here, i can bring a full socket set and some essentials if you want.

[Blacdout96]

The server wont let me go into april, or go to my garage for that matter. yeah I put in my username and password and it accepts it, but when i go to go into anything besides my account, it says i have insufficient access, or im not logged in...but i am. I dunno if ill be able to make it to this meet if its doing that now :(

[EchoMirage]

you still have that paper saying you paid for the last run, right? that should be enough. they have your money, they HAVE to let you do something. dont use aol, and you have to go to the main site directly, it doesnt work going through their club site. try this, then hit login:

i hope you get it worked out. we really need some more american muscle to make a show in a sea of rice. if you show up with whatever they gave you last time, i think you should be alright. theres always a few no shows anyway. any word on your friends coming? tell the girl theres nothing to hit, her car will be fine.

[Blacdout96]

omg, your al ife saver, now it works. well they gave me back my money last time tho i told them to just hold it so and takea rain check for next week, but im on the waiting list, and i think someone said as long as its not outlandish, they might let the waiters run as well, plus i gotta think of who might not show up, or my favorite, fail tech inspection. Im already for april 8th tho.

[Blacdout96]

I think ill just come up this weekend wiht my friends and show them what the race is like, get their adrenaline flowing, and if i happen to get a spot open ill race, but im in for april 8th.

[2MCHPWR]

don't worry about being on the waitlist. you'll get in. last event was 123 cars.

[Blacdout96]

alright cool. and I installed a new, stronger, longer bolt in the panhard bar along wiht a a nylon thread and lock washer, shouldnt havea problem passing :)

[Blacdout96]

I know im diggin up an old thread, but Echo, I went thru my camera today, and found these:

[EchoMirage]

cool, thanks. you going to make it on the 29th this month?

[Blacdout96]

Im gonna try, Im really hoping to get around to having my rear done before I go, but i highly doubt it. I mean my car runs, id just like to havea posi in it lol, but if nothing goes bad on my car until then il try to make it there.

[EchoMirage]

hope so
