Bringing the RX-7 to the track this weekend, anyone else?

[P71]

Taking the FB to the drags at PIR Saturday night and the ORPCA Autocross on Sunday. John will be there as well (Red 05 GTO). I know Josh will be at the Autocross. Anybody else?

I wish I had the money and I wish my car would pass a safety inspection.

Only $25 to run at PIR, $8 to watch. Why won't it pass Tech?

[PercentSevenC]

It's not so much the actual admission that's the problem. It's driving to Portland and back and paying the admission. College has me so ridiculously broke right now. It's a good thing I'm on good terms with my parents.

As far as passing tech, I need new tires (i.e. even more money) and they probably wouldn't let me in with the huge crack in my windshield, either.

It will happen, just need to get a summer job first.

Tires nor windshield are disqualifiers. If you're slower then 13.99 they only check battery hold down, leaks, seatbelt, and seat.

I hear you on the drive/race/back and gas prices though!

Really? Interesting. Regardless, it would be kinda pointless to try to race with these tires, but at least now I know that when I replace them I can give it a shot.

What do they check if you're in the 13-second range (which I might be once I get my turbo installed)?

[P71]

Helmet (Snell 2000 or 2005), driveshaft loop if your on slicks/DR's, more comprehensive on leaks/drips.

that was such an awesome autox course!! omg
no pics of you mike.. my friends showed up too late :-(

[P71]

Nice shot!!!!

Did you see the results yet? We did pretty good! That course was AWESOME!

I have video of John in the GTO and a video of your first whole run.

I also went for a ride with James Paulson (the White STI). It was like being in a one minute long car crash...
