Mazdaexe is on the forum, aka bong, he has the black 8 with the replica autoex kit. I remember him saying he was going to this event.

you only need 250, and you could always run on your street tires.

Well checked my tire pressure for tommorrow and I found out why I spun out at the malibu meet. The inner treads for my rear tires are completely bald while my outter treads are still fine. I gotta take it easy tommorrow, anyways hope the weather is nice to us.

just bought my D1 drift tickets.....I'll be there with Erica and one fo her friends. I guess I'll just cal Loren when I get there to know where you guys are at. We'll probably be there around 445/500 is my guess, maybe earlier.

Be safe on the cruise tomorrow morning and we'll see you in the evening.

According to Dave (guitarjunkie on rx7club), Jesse's car goes "brap brap brap" now. I haven't heard anything from the man himself.


This drizzly morning, at Pirate City, there were:
3 RX-8's (two black, one yellow. Casey had to take care of house stuff, so he missed the run)
1 FD (red)
2 FC's (silver and red)
1 FB (silver)
1 Integra (friend of FB)

The roads were slick in some places, and dirty in others. Due to some fog and traffic, the group got seperated but the leader didn't realize this for quite some time (sorry Matt!). Despite all that, I had a great time and I hope everyone else did the same.

ok guys it's done. i think i'm all mod-ed out for a long time . and you guys never told me that looking out the rear view mirrow would be almost impossible. that's how i watch for the cops. . the wing was easy but ran into troubles on the rear flares. had to put a screw on one side,we had no choice . i would say we could have done a better job, but all in all it still looks pretty good. might look better when it gets washed..

I think this was the first time the RX-7's had us out-numbered...

if i remember correctly, theres ajustments that can be made to make the wing sit lower, so your view is less obstructed

dave called me this morning w/ the sweet sweet sound of "brap brap brap" .... it was amazing!

We ran into an awesome Mazda Miata car club right before this stop.

Man, they had us WAY out-numbered... (Such a sad day for us... sob sob.)

Anyways, I must've counted at least 15 or 16 Miatas whiz by... Sorry I wasn't able to get some pix of them...

They were all waving to us as they passed... Zoom Zoom Zoom

Some shots of Scott's FD and Jun's 8 on the way to the 15...

BOY, DID TRAFFIC SUCK TODAY ON THE WAY HOME!

Not to mention, we had 2 spin-outs today: Matt in his red 2nd Gen, and the guys in the white Integra... (Good thing the cops left us alone though. They had their eyeballs glued to us every time...)

And, that's all folks!

It was dumping rain this am between San Dimas & Ontario... First time my 8 has seen rain. And, the mud & rocks on the wet roads didn't help much either.

Still, it was great to get out and do some driving. Just wish the rest of ya could've been there. 'Til next time...

Michael, we need PICS!!!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that about the MS wing. The nice thing is it blocks headlights when driving at night... (unless of course you're looking for cops)
