Actually I was there and it wasn't just the Rx7's...It was us too...LMAO!!! :rollingla

What happened is that the other cars in the parade lap were pissed at us cause we puposely held the line so that we could take the course at full speed. One car would wait for a while and allow the car in front to race a good 2 turns ahead before starting.

And I am going again btw!! :worship:

There really aren't that many in the South Florida area and the few that are here are owned by either old people or daddy's little girl types.

The few "car guys" that are here usually work long hours. I am totally free on the weekends though but we have not had much showing during the weekends.

"vOc" used to setup meets but he disappeared like 4 months ago and I have not heard back from him in some time now. (Hope everythings ok)

Back in the day I used to be a president of a car club but I really do not have the energies necessary to due that again.

Maybe, I will plan something soon... :)

I was surprised though in Boca Raton there are a few more than I expected! I've been working here for a few months now. The drivers are around my age (28) but apparently they must not be true enthusciasts or something cause I can not get the attention of even one of them.

I do know of one guy thats active in the forum up here though and thats Rotor____ (forgot the screen name). He's got a rear mounted turbo.

- Cost: Varies - I payed $70 (Premium pkg) which includes parking inside, food, maybe a parade lap, and Playboy Bunnies!!!!
- Where: Homestead Speedway

2) Next Autocross

Have you heard of Tangos which is located on 120th Street where the new Publix is located. They are located in the back parking lot with a lot of space. The owner of Tangos said that there was a meeting held there some months ago by a group of RX-8 owners. I am open to whatever gets a group of RX-8 owners together. Lets decide and see how many can attend. I just got my RX-8 back from Ocean Mazda. They installed a re-built motor that was not doing very well until I took it back last week. Seems to be running much better now the motor mounts have been re-torqued to proper specs. I now have my confidence back in my vehicle as it is running as original.

Not to be a prick or anything but no one except South Miami people will be able to meet in Kendal...Sorry.

It makes no sense for anyone in Broward to drive that far...Especially me since I drive to work 1 hour to Boca. So I would basically be driving like 1.5 to 2 hours (one way) that day. :nono:

there is no traffic at 8:30 and if you take the turnpike you should reach us in less than 15 minutes, where we usually hangout is right off the turnpike exit to 120th street. and the Pizza hut is about 5 to 10 minutes from there.

It may have been Broward but it still was 20 south of my location. The least you could do is to make it North Miami as a compromise but like you said you want Miami people.

It should be about the community not whos local but whatever...have fun. :dunno:

lol, I wouldn't mind driving a little. I don't think there's much 8 drivers in the Miami area willing to meet. Least we can do is a community meet. Plus, Ft. Lauderdale is only about 30mins away.. :)

You are correct, I live in Kendal and the traffic has gotten worse. Lets try to get the guys and girls that live in our area to meet. I see quite a few RX08's running around in our area and it would be great to see what we can do to promote more events in the South Miami. Has anyone had experience in an autocross in South Miami and where was it held. Love to see a RX-7 owners take an interest.

PaPaBear cannot make the race at Homestead. I will be stuck at home due to work and have to be close to phone. Will watch on Speedvision. I live right off 117th Ave and 134th. Looks like we have some people in close proximity where we could get together one night for pIzza and maybe start planning events.
I hope the RX-8's continue to kick butt this weekend at Homestead.
Have a great weekend. My cars looks like CaCa with all the rain and crap on the roads. Mine is Dark Green which is beautiful when clean. I'll give her a good bath tomorrow.

I wanted the nortic green with the bronze colored rims, ocean mazda was offering me one for 25k with the GT package, brand new cuase it had some scratches from hurricane damage, but it wasnt till a year later that i had the money for an rx-8 so i got mine that i have now.

BTW send me a PM maybe we can schedule someting with the locals since you guys seem to have come out of your holes, that goes for all you local drivers, send me some PM's!
