They have asked me to supply them with a list of the cars we will be parking in our area so they can prep accordingly. They can park non rotary cars to the side but still a part of the group. Please post up what kind of car you will be in for the event.
TA, thanks for the information. That is great news. This is going to be one hell of a big party. As TA mentioned, post your car and I will keep a tally on the first post of this thread.

Anyone like Tilapia? I can get some from Sams and if someone brings a grill we can cook it up in about 15mins. Good stuff if you like fish.

Yes, all of us will be in the same area but we will give the 7's their own section inside the corral and the 8's will have their own section but all will be inside the GA RX-8Club corral according to TA's conversation with Barber yesterday. Look forward to you guys joining us.

OMG! Bring the Stingray! I want to sit in it and dream about the car I always wanted.

I was hoping for a repeat on the wings. My mouth is watering now.

Since Corvette had a 4-rotor prototype in 1973, it is allowed.



I'd love to see it, please bring the stingray. I bet it'll get more looks than our cars.

Glad you'll be there. Where/how did you get your avatar? It's your car isn't it? Is it an action shot?

haha, it is my car. It is not really an action shot, it is what happens when I pull out of my boss's driveway. I have always felt it teeter on two wheels when I leave his place, and finally thought to take pics of it.

Original pics
scroll down a bit to see the pics. it was amusing. DSC-TCS hates it. A lot.

I have to check the GA RX-8 club forum more often. BTW, the RX-7 is now track worthy! I'll post some pictures if you all want. The Front sway was a bitch to get on, and it much bigger than stock. Coilovers are next, those have to be custom fabricated with some welding. I'm excited and my neighbors hate me

I would like to join everyone. I'm from Bham so I'll be there no matter what, hopefully 3days, but for sure Sat/Sun just depends on work.

It will be me and maybe my wife, but just 1 car, RX7.

...gotta love mechanical OMPs. And at the moment, it looks like I have all the parts to get my 7 running, so it should cartaintly make it to Barber so long as it proves reliable enough.
