The spring game was AWESOME! 62,000 fans for a scrimmage -- HUSKER POWER :D Defense looks legit (1st and 2nd teams) and Dailey proved he has some real potenial. Second team O-Line looks TERRIBLE No depth at all. Calling all punters -- open casting call at Memorial stadium.

I actually got burnt too! I think I was burning before the game even started! I thought physically ross looked really good, and horne was sure looking quite good too! Daily looked somewhat natural throwing most of the time, the whole thing was surreal, but at the same time oh so fun fun fun!

RXhusker

That is the dragstrip -- I want the road course.

We sat in the shaded section right on the 50 yard line so I am fortunately not as red as Hskr8's car It was a blast -- the tunnel walk at the beginning to kick off the Callahan era was a great touch. Did you guys see Ron Brown at the game? He had maybe 100 kids with him as part of some camp. I watched him coach/work with the kids -- that guy is an awesome motivator! My wife was actually on his radio talk show once a few years ago -- but that is another story :D

RXhusker

Has anybody noticed that we have the most thread responses of any in the MW forum? By three-fold!

Go Husker 8's :D

MichRX7

And you wonder why I'm in here hoping to see you guys post that you are coming out to the event

10 days left, right now 25 RX8's registered (not including the 8 or so our dealers are bringing). Come on out! :D

RXhusker

I know -- it is killing me that I am booked that weekend at a business event Hope next year's is on another weekend by chance -- my client already booked me the same weekend next year.

Kain

I actually tried to get that trip rescheduled and my wife gave me this look.............. well let me just say it is not being rescheduled I will be there next year- you should get a date already anyhow, went to Lincoln on business yesterday and saw a fd on the way- yellow- had been painted yellow though cause of the shade- but VERY pretty none-the-less!

April 29th - May 1st 2005

It is always the last weekend of April.

I think you should be all over the other "club" members to come and get some good pics/vid for you to be ready for next year

RXhusker

Had my calipers painted today by my friends at Visual Perfection. Black with white RX-8 letters (used Polaks stencils). They look awesome :D Highly recommend this simple mod! The black/white combo looks sweet on my Ti 8.

Kain

you dog!!! now I am gonna HAVE to do that! when is the club meeting and working on the logo- this thread has been rather silent lately where is the love???

RXhusker

Weather has been crappy this week I am open Friday for lunch -- next week the weather looks really nice -- I am open Mon, Tues. or Wed.

Kain -- you thinking about the open track day?

RXhusker

Great day to Zaino in the garage with all the rain outside -- I washed with Dawn and used the claybar last night. Getting ready to put on 4 coats today. If you haven't used claybar before -- do it! Paint is smooth as baby's bottom :D

RXhusker

Put 6 coats of fresh Zaino on today :D

While I was waiting for it to cure I also did the DIY Foglight rewire and the DIY Radar Detector wiring -- very nice mods -- would recommend everyone do the foglight rewire -- nice to be able to turn on the fogs without all the lights.

Hey,

As someone who grew up in South O, I would like to invite the Husker Rotary (RX) Club to join the Chicago, Wisconsin, and Northstar clubs in putting on the fourth annual Midwest Rotary Rally (MRR). Some info on the MRR:


Date: August 21 - 22, 2004

Location: Road America (WI), the best road course in America!

What: The MRR is run by a council of Midwestern clubs and focuses on rotary community and racing. Each of the clubs pitch in to help coordinate the MRR. Some examples of the sorts of activities at the MRR include:

- Racing: last year we watched the Downing 4-rotor LeMans car in the ALMS series, Star Mazda open wheel rotary-powered formula cars, and Mazda Proteges including those from Tri-Point in the World Challenge Touring class. This year the World Challenge GT class will be included this weekend, in which the Pettit Team Infovision 3rd gen ran last year. We are working with those teams to see if they will be contesting these series again this year.

- Technical Sessions: Last year Steve Kan of Gotham Racing did a session on tuning, we went into the Downing 4-rotor pits, visited the Tri-Point pits, we had a corner weighing sesion, a compression testing session (with genuine Mazda rotary engine compression tester), had a session on the Star Mazda display car, and had a 2nd gen Q&A Session.

- Concours / Car Show: Categories for all gens/models, stock and modified

- Prizes and Give-aways: Last year almost $9,000 in prizes and giveaways were passed out. (and I bet you wondered exactly where the sponsorship stuff goes? It goes to our attendees)

- Track Touring: Road America opnes up the track at lunch time so you can drive your car on it. Speeds are supposed to be limited to 80, but in practice as long as no one is doing anything stupid they cut you some slack on the straights and I have hit 100+ and been passed.

We will continue to update the web site as we add this year's Tech Sessions, get updates on who all will be racing this year, and registration info. The web site is:

http://www.rotaryrally.com

Pre-registration is now open, so if you are interested, please pre-register now, as that will help us plan space for the car corral inside the track, make hotel group deal plans, etc. Pre-registering does not commit you to anything, and no money is required. It is merely for head count purposes.

Would the Husker club be interested in joining us in coordinating the MRR?

Cheers,

Steve
(if you get to Chicago, look for the Husker flag on my greystone house - my wife tolerates and actually enjoys both of my obsessions - rotaries and NU football)

GO BIG RED!!! It looks like we really need to have a club meeting!!! get a logo and a site up!! what ever happened to hskr8??? and by the way rxhusker- your ride is starting to be almost unbelievable- loved the new pics!!!!! I spent 3 hours washing my 8 last night and when I went out to lunch it was like we had teradactyls or something, and one of them let loose on my poor 8!

Kain

no m flash- at this point I need some things fixed- but if they aren't crucial I am waiting for the next oil change casue I have already had this car in for too many things any job luck hskr8? and we need to meet!!! who is down?

RXhusker

I will be gone til next Tues.

I have an appointment at MidWest Motorplex next Wed. for track training (required prior to the open track event on May 8th). 45 minutes in classroom -- then track orientation -- then driving til you wear out :D (NO CHARGE at least that is what they told me)

MichRX7

RXhusker... I see you in my forum area...you know you want to blow everything and come on out :D

RXhusker

The temptation Unfortunately I can't do it -- the frustrating part is I already know that I can't make it next year either
