We had what was called RX-7/RX-8 focus day at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, Texas last weekend. Had a really good time. About 25 or so showed up from the Fort Worth/Dallas Texas area to run on the 1.7 mile 11 turn road course. There were some great cars there so I thought I would share a few pics.

Cars going around one of the turns.

The FB's were well represented with 4 cars. It was funny that all of these were completely gutted and made for racing. There were only 2 FC's there, mine being one of them and the TII in the next picture. The FD's were the least modified of all the cars. Most were stock with the exception of exhaust changes.

The only other FC besides mine was this TII. I did not run due to suspension problems.

This was the most modified of all the FD's there. This is an engine pic obviously.

There was also this Vette that showed up just to see the track. It was a monster. It had a 427 c.i. twin turbo motor...Yes I said twin turbo!!! Here is the motor.

Texas Motorsports Ranch is a "country club" race track. Take your average country club, remive golf course, add race track. At elast that's what they were going for anyway. It's located not far from Ft Worth.



Gazellis, let me know the next time one of these events come up, I'll be there fosho!

I posted it a week prior to the event in the regional section on nopistons.com.



I posted it in the South section. Figured that was the most appropriate place. I guess not. Sorry guys.



Cresson Texas is about 14 miles south of Fort Worth on HWY 377. You have to be a member to race here and memberships are steep. We got to do this because 3 members (they don't drive RX-7's) arranged it for us. It cost us $95.00 a person.



There was a class first, then a lead and follow, then another class, then a faster lead and follow and then open running with or without an instructor.



Next time it happens I will get the info to you guys personally. I thought posting it in the regional section was the best, once again sorry.

you didn't do anything wrong they are just blind https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I never look in the regional section. Nobody ever really posts there. I'll be sure to check on it now.



BTW - Texas RX-7's is doing a hill country run this Saturday, Nov 8th. Let me know if you guys are interested. I've never done a run with these guys, but I frequently ran the hill country with the S2000 crew. Great roads!

gazellis 11-04-2003 01:14 PM

I would actually love to come down for that but I have some family things to do this coming weekend that i am already committed to.
