im noit sure if i work that day or not, but ill be there if im not, the drive over mingus should be a blast, especially ina group of 8s.... ive been meaning to make that drive lately anyhow....

 

Where are you guys gonna meet up at? Im thinkin of goin bein I wont have to work.

 

Well Tim, I just registered with Mazda Comp. this morning and I see that as a registered racer, Mazda extended the S-Plan to all registered racers for Mazda vehicles. Including the RX-8!

 

MnyRex.... we usually meet at the Chilis, just East of the Loop 101 and Bell Road across the street from Arrowhead Mall (NW Valley). Chilis is on the South side of the street.

Pret... yea, I'd love to buy that Shinka. I've been with MazdaComp for a couple of years now, but I'm not sure if they'd let the Shinka go for the S-Plan price. Interesting question though??

Hope to see everyone on the 17th. Let me know if you have other questions!

 

Yeah i know where that is then, count me in.

 

i took a few hours off of work to be there, also told my brother about it, he lives in prescott and owns a 2nd gen rx7 so plan on both of us meeting you at murphys.

 

Maybe I'll have the 7 fixed by then. If not I'll at least meet you all at Arrowhead.

 

7... what do you mean 7? Do you mean the "8"?

 

No I mean the 7. If I can't fix it I'll drive the 8.

 

OMG you added a 7 to the family
Pics! Pics! Pics!

 

It's actually David Weiss' old Fc. We bought it in December. So far its turning into a project car :D. Oh yea fun to drive too...

 

PICS! PICS! PICS! PICS! I can't remember what David's looks like :o

Are you saying you're just gonna meet at Chili's but not go on the drive?

 

what time are we meeting @ chili's @ 101 and I - 17?

 

leavin at 10 i believe.

 

MnyRex is right - departing at 10am

Meeting on Sunday, April 17th in Prescott. Leaving Phoenix around 10 a.m. and stopping for lunch at Murphy's in Prescott around Noon. Depart around 1:30 p.m. for Mingus Mountain/Jerome/Cottonwood before catching I-17 near Camp Verde and heading back into Phoenix. Arrival time in Phoenix expected between 4 and 5 p.m. More details to come soon.

 

I was just wondering as to how many people are going to this thing on Sunday? And what all are we doing, from my understanding is that we are cruising up there eating and then come back home... am I right or wrong?

 

Tim's latest e-mail below. Carol and I plan on going. Tim is right about the Highway Patrol. I got my first ticket in 39 years last year on Yarnell Hill.

Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that our RCCAZ Spring Run to Prescott is THIS SUNDAY, April 17th. We will be meeting at Chili's Restaurant on the South side of Bell Road just across the street from Arrowhead Mall (NW Phoenix) between 9 and 10 a.m. Departure time will be 10 a.m. sharp.

From there, we'll cruise together to Wickenburg where we'll stop at the McDonalds for a short bathroom break, then continue on through Yarnell and into Prescott via SR89A. If you've never been on that road, it's pretty twisty, so it's a fun drive to stretch the legs on your RX.

Once in Prescott, we’ll have lunch at Murphy's (if Tim can find it), give away some door prizes, then continue on through Prescott Valley (time permitting), up Mingus Mountain, through Jerome and Cottonwood before heading back to I-17 at Camp Verde and back into the Valley. We're hoping to be back by 5 p.m.

If you have a Motorola Talkabout hand-held FLR frequency radio, please bring it along. It’s a great way to stay in contact while we’re enroute. Also, if you have a radar detector, please bring it with you. Your friendly Arizona DPS officers like to keep an eye on certain sections of our proposed route, so radar detectors will help minimize your chance of a ticket!

Finally, we have a new RCCAZ Club Liability Waiver that I’ll be asking everyone to look over and sign before the drive. It’s been a long time coming, but I’d like to thank several of our members who provided input to the final product.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday.

Tim

 

Everyone,

Mny Rex is kind of right. Yes, we are driving from Phoenix to Prescott with lunch up there, but getting there with a group of RXs is a whole lotta fun :D

Not sure how many yet Mny Rex since I haven't been asking for RSVPs. Expect at least 10. Maybe more. Hope you can make it!

Tim

 

Node put a post on the AZRX7.com page about this. I wonder how many from there will show up. Of course the more the merrier.

 

09Factor I just PM'd with a new 8 owner who also happens to live in Gilbert!! WOOOOT! I sent an invite for tomorrow's drive; I sure hope they make it. So...are you taking the 7 or the 8 out tomorrow 'eh? :D

Pret & RCCAZ, I saw that Shinka at Showcase yesterday (I had to get my 15k mile checkup). That color combo is so hot. I just love it! Too bad they price the Shinka at a premium; I just want the color! I liked the wheels on her too.

MNYREX it may sound a little lame that we're just driving, eating lunch and driving back, but I think you'll have a good time. It's so cool to see a convoy of 7's and 8's snaking through the twisties having a good time!

I'm definitely planning on being there so I hope to see lots of 8's this time! Pret - you coming too? Abbid - tsk tsk my man. Tsk tsk.

(Edit) Is anyone in touch with Huff and is he coming along tomorrow too??

 

Are you kidding me? I was under the impression they gave in and fixed it. Atleast thats what I thought you told me.

 

Yeah im sure it will be so ill show. Plus its my only day off from work so i wont mind drivin the car.

Secondly off the topic on the special edition 8 can you buy those seats from the dealer cause i like that color a lot.

 

It would be probally cheaper to have you seats re-skined.

 

Your right, I wonder how long it would put my car out of comission to get that done...

 

hey ms. A,

i was at showcase last week (new ms front brake pads) and also saw the shinka. it does look nice! but it is priced at a premium . can't make it this time around, mei is, um,, nauseous. have fun and drive safe!
