good question? i want to enter the show and check out all the other cars, as well as all the 8's and 7's. if i read correctly, it is free for show entrants and $3 for spectators. are we meeting in the field, or should we wait for everyone else in the parking lot so we can all park together? anyone bringing a camera?

If anyone does have an AFE SS i want to check it out too~ (actually expect me to be snooping all over the rx-8's (and 7's) - stock and modified.

hope i get a chance to wash my car!!!!

OK just posted this on the 7 forum:

If anyone is worried about not making it to kimballs on time, PM me for my phone number, I will try my best to be back on frequently between now and tomorrow. I will probably be driving up there around 5. I figure we can park in the dirt lot first if it's not crowded. that way we don't have random people coming up to the cars and inspecting it like they do to the muscle cars in field, and it is also within eyeshot of the icecream. if we want though we can move to the field. hope to see you all tomorrow evening!!

there's talk on the 7 site about just going to the field, as the dirt lot is dusty and high traffic, i'm waiting for someone else to weigh in on it

I drove up and down the road a couple of times but the place was mobbed with classic cars. I didn't see any RXs! I was there around 6:50. Not sure if everyone was gone by then. Was my dad right and I finally went blind or were you all parked somewhere out of sight?

here are some pics from the dirt lot portion of the meet.
stupidly, i didn't get any pictures of us in the field.
(just took a few of some interesting other cars...)

sorry i had to run out, had some things to do (and i was very tired/sunstroked after being there all day...)

good to see you all - nice cars!!!

thanks, she's still a work in progress.

i must say, you guys all had really great looking SE's, as well. they were all very tastefully modded; especially the NHDM dust on the green "RX-8" plated one . i loved the hood and trunk and front bumper, killer combo. good luck with the autocrossing. i loved the chrome rims; which normally i dont, but it looked killer on your car. good luck with the pettit supercharger. i liked the AXIS rims and brake set up on the red 8. that car was way too clean; which isnt a bad thing. i didnt get to see too much of the black, silver, or white; but from what i saw they all looked pretty good. i mean, its an RX-8, can you really go wrong? (then again, i take that back. get the right car in the wrong hands, you can end up with some awful creations.)

again, i had a really great time and it was nice to meet all of you. we should definitely do this again sometime. i hope i smashed some of your FD3S owner expectations, at least a little bit .
