We did a RX-7 BBQ in South Florida last June and it was a success. We had over 30 RX-7's and even Cam showed up with his Banzai.



I am wondering if there will be any interest in putting on another BBQ.



I will look into some really neat venues. One I have in mind is to rent out the local SCCA Autocross equipment and put on a RX-7 BBQ Autocross day.



I would like to get my hands on a local 1/4 mile strip but they are usually booked up on weekends.



If anyone can look into theit local Florida Strip I will be willing to front the cash for a deposite to get us in.



I will find out about the Autocross for sure next weekend.



Chime in with suggestions. I really want to do one where we can drive our cars not just look at them.



I am not sure if I am going to do this yet but if there seems to be a lot of interest I will start working on it.

what part of south florida I might be able to go but if its really far away ill have to pass.

christi 03-09-2003 12:08 AM

Depends how long I stay down in Hollywood, I'll come https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I'll be there around May 18th. I'll keep you updated, but yup, I want to come if I'm still there.

Jims5543 03-09-2003 06:00 PM

It will most likely be somewhere just North of or in West Palm Beach Fl. in June.



I will consider Orlando but last year there were tons of people from South Florida that came. So I will probably keep it in the West Palm Beach area.



Christi - I am planning on going to the Towers Shops in Ft. Lauderdale in a few weeks. I will post up when we go.

christi 03-09-2003 06:02 PM

aww, i won't be in Ft. Lauderdale until may 18th... lol

Jims5543 03-09-2003 07:46 PM

Are you bringing your 7 to Holywood??



BTW - The beaches there rock. I love going to the beaches there.

christi 03-09-2003 10:52 PM

Unfortinually (sp) No... :( My parent's think it's not necessary to drive all the way down there with two cars. I kinda don't blame them, esp. with the rise of gas prices.



Which is why I need to give someone a call down there for a ride around town:P Waysho and I might be meetin' up and all.

I fail to see the humor in that remark, maybe I'm just overworked and under paid.

Jims5543 03-13-2003 07:15 PM

I will try to contact Cameron about doing a Dyno day at Pettit and I'll look for a park nearby where we can go and chill afterwards. Pettit is in West Palm Beach.



Thats not too bad of a ride from South Florida.

that would be great jim i would love to do that.

Jims5543 03-27-2003 03:18 PM

Mark your calanders!



MAY 17th 2003



Its a Saturday and it will be a Pettit Racings Facility. Big Parking lot and a DYNO!



Cameron has be gracious to offer his facility to us. You can do pulls while you are there. He will do Horsepower pulls for $35 and full diagnostic pulls for $50. If you want to tweek your car while its on there you can but it might be more depending on how long you tie up the rollers for.



Cameron suggested all the Horsepower only guys go 1st then the full diagnostic then the tuners.



There are some very sick cars at this place. Pettits specialty is turning FD's into 3 Rotor Monsters. His Banzai is there as well as the RX-7 Limo and a ton of 3rd gens with 3 rotors.



May 17th!! Mark it down. I would like to do a roll call to see about how many will attend so we can get enough food for everyone.

Yes we are gonna grill again Burgers and dogs.

cam wrecked the banzai. i saw it. it was pretty messy.

rotary speedster 03-27-2003 11:17 PM

As of the moment I am in. I will, hopefully, be bringing a friend.

My motor is finally back together. Now the fun part, putting it back

in and installing the Haltech. Along with finishing the manaul conversion.

I'll prolly be going last, since I'll need lots of tuning. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Jim? PM me when you can.

Jims5543 03-28-2003 10:31 AM

It seems I am banned from the evil forum - I tried to post this there and am blocked. I was going to ask someone to post this up but you know what **** em. This will be another reason not to go there.



I hope to get about 20+ cars and I will be happy and honestly between TeamFC3S.org and here we have that and then some.



So dont post **** about this on the evil forum. If you have a friend there you want to tell this BBQ to go ahead and invite them otherwise keep those assholes over there in the dark.



I talked to Cam about his Banzai. He blew out a tire and lost control of the car. He has mostly cosmetic damage it looks worse than it is.



Anyone ever seen his engine builder?? woo woo!

christi 03-28-2003 12:57 PM

OK, jim don't PM me.



There will be a slight chance Ic an go, I just need you to PM me for some additional side qeustions please.

TurboSmoke 03-28-2003 08:41 PM
